• Washington is the nation's leading producer of apples, pears and sweet cherries, and blueberries -- all labor-intensive harvests that is hard to mechanize without damaging fruit, and constant disease and pest pressure.
• Reservoir Farms – Washington follows the same partnership model as Reservoir's other locations, placing startups on working farms alongside researchers and growers to build, test and refine technology under commercial conditions.
• Initial work at Reservoir Farms – Washington will focus on tree fruit and blueberries, with additional testing in wine grapes and hops, and plans to extend into row crop systems over time.
