Wawona Frozen Foods Inc.

The year was 1945 and Earl Smittcamp returned from the South Pacific, where he fought in WWII as a U.S. Marine.

With the war ended and enthusiasm rising in the country, he and his wife, Muriel, bought a 200-acre farm the following year from her father.

Founded in 1963, Wawona Frozen Foods specializes in the growing and freezing of fresh fruits.
