A Sweet Legacy from the heart of orchard country

Dec 17, 2024

A CENTURY-OLD COMPANY

Nestled in the picturesque town of Cashmere, Washington, Liberty Orchards has been making delicious candies  since its inception in 1918.

The company began its journey as an apple farm, thriving in the fertile soil of Washington state. Over the decades, Liberty Orchards transformed from a simple agricultural endeavor into a well-known confectionery brand, creating a rich legacy that blends tradition with innovation.

 

A NEW DIRECTION

The story of Liberty Orchards is one of adaptation and growth. In the early 1900’s , our founders started using their excess fruit to create a beloved treat they had enjoyed as children. This strategic move allowed them to leverage their primary product — apples — and create delightful confections that would eventually capture the taste buds of people around the world.

  At the heart of Liberty Orchards’ offerings lies our first and most famous product: Aplets & Cotlets... Created from apple juice or apricot purée and blended with crunchy walnuts, this uniquely delicious treat is made with a dedication to quality that customers can taste in every bite!

 

A DIVERSE ARRAY OF FLAVORS

Here at Liberty Orchards we’ve not limited ourselves to just apples and apricots! We’ve embraced creativity by producing a variety of confectionery flavors that cater to diverse palates. From pineapple with macadamia nuts to raspberry with pecans, each flavor is a delicious new take on our original recipe. . We’ve also expanded our product line with  sugar-free and nut-free varieties, plus savory chocolates, where our traditional fruit-and-nut candies are drenched in rich, premium chocolate.

 In addition to our original fruit-and-nut varieties, we also make "Turkish Delight," which features  traditional Near-East flavors including Orange Blossom-Almond, Apricot-Walnut, Rose-Pistachio, and Lemon Delight. .. These exotic treats have been a hit for our customers, adding a new culinary adventure to our candy lineup.

 

A SWEET FUTURE

As Liberty Orchards continues to innovate and expand its range of confections, it remains a beloved brand in the region and beyond. Our commitment to quality, community, and tradition ensures that each product is not just a treat but also a piece of history, offering a taste of our home here in Cashmere that our customers can savor and share.

Through our remarkable journey from an apple farm to a renowned confectionery maker, Liberty Orchards stands as a testament to the power of adaptability and dedication. With a rich assortment of flavors and a passion for quality, we’re poised to continue delighting taste buds for generations to come!
