With its fertile, well-drained soil, spring rain and warm summer days with cool evenings, Oregon’s Willamette Valley is known for its extraordinary blackberries. We grow several varieties of plump blackberries in both Oregon and Mexico, providing a year-round supply. People love our blackberries, not only for their wonderful flavor, but also for their many health benefits!

HANDLING & STORAGE
