Our Process

Fresh BLUEBERRIES

Our Highbush blueberries are on the average larger than blueberries from other regions. In fact, our Oregon blueberries are so sweet and juicy they’re in demand all over the world. We’re bluebook listed and working with the Federal-State USDA auditing program we meet approved GAP-GHP standards. Our receiving ticket based trace-back program and box coding system lets us follow the berries through-out our process and on to delivery.

We ship around the world. You can arrange your own transportation, or we can arrange transportation for you, either by truck or air.

Cool chain

Our blueberries enjoy an uninterrupted “cool chain” from picking to shipping. The blueberries are cooled within 45 minutes of picking and using storage coolers and refrigerated trucks, we keep our blueberries as cool as possible. With a 24 hour turnaround; from the field to packed and ready to ship, we strive to give you the freshest fruit available. We use 100% food-safe equipment, with stainless steel equipment with food-grade “A” belts and contact surfaces.

Our blueberries are cleaned, sorted with a color-sorter; hand inspected and ran through a metal detector before they’re packed.

Blueberry health benefits

Fresh blueberries contain antioxidants called anthocyanins, the pigments responsible for the blue color of blueberries. Antioxidants are important because they appear to be at least partially responsible for lowering the risk of cancer and heart disease. Antioxidants do this by protecting the body’s blood vessel walls, making them more resistant to damage caused by oxidation.

Antioxidants also seem to have a role in delaying the aging process. Fresh blueberries contain 15 different anthocyanins, as well as other antioxidants like vitamin C.

Research indicates that adding half cup of fresh blueberries to an average daily variety of fruits and vegetables consumed by an individual would essentially double the body’s antioxidant level.

Fresh blueberries are rich in vitamin C and naturally low in fat, cholesterol and sodium. Fresh blueberries contain iron, potassium and other important minerals, and are a good source of dietary fiber.
