Boertje Orchards, one of the largest privately owned orchards in the world, is a wonderful example of transformation in the marketplace. Look at some of the exerts from there Website:
“A quality fruit company committed to ‘bearing fruit that will last.’”
(Jn 15:16 NIV)
Broetje Orchards is unique in the apple growing and packing industry because we are founded on the belief that faith and business can be incorporated in a single mission.
The Broetje Orchards brand -- FirstFruits of Washington -- refers to a Biblical festival during which the people offered the first and best of their harvests to God in the knowledge that they were dependent on God for their survival and blessings. Likewise, we offer our first fruits --in the form of profits-- to help people and communities around the world, and as recognition of God’s role in the success of our business.
Broetje Orchards is committed to a “servant leadership” model to guide its activities. It means that our business goals are not separated from our spiritual values.
“Sure, we have to make money or we’d have to shut the doors,” Cheryl Broetje explains. “But profit isn’t our main motive."
"Each year we donate about 75% of our profits to local, domestic, and international projects. We believe that this moral foundation is the primary reason for our company’s business success."
