Lyndonville, NY (PRWEB) June 26, 2006 -- Atwater Foods LLC of Lyndonville, NY, producer of premium dried fruit, is pleased to announce the addition of a new multi-stage continuous drying facility located in beautiful Traverse City, Michigan. The new plant is located adjacent to some of the large Montmorency tart cherry orchards owned and operated by the partners of Atwater Foods.

With the increasing demand for high quality dried fruits, Atwater Foods’ primary interest is to meet the needs of its customers. Their premium dried fruits are ideal for salads, snacks, trail mix, baking, breads/muffins, toppings and other applications. Both bulk and retail packaging is available.
