The Best Berries Begin with the Best Conditions

Oregon Berry Packing Company grows only those blueberry varieties optimally suited to our climate and with the characteristics consumers want most.  Fields are planted, pruned, fertilized and harvested under our direct supervision.

Handled with Care

Because the time between picking and cooling is critical to freshness,Click to enlarge high resolution picture picked blueberries are  rushed to our pre-cooler and brought below 40° F as quickly as possible.  A color chlorophyll sorter removes unripe fruit, and a blower  gently removes field debris.  Berries are graded, sized and hand-inspected.  Any berries that don’t meet our high standards  are removed from the  processing line.

Before being packed in individual baskets, fresh blueberries pass through a metal detector to guarantee against any metal particles.  This extra precaution protects consumers and removes any potential liability for our distributors.  A tracking code printed on fresh blueberry labels or trays contains picking and processing dates, and source field information.

Innovative Storage, Air Shipping Protects Flavor

Our atmospheric-controlled cooler holds fresh packed blueberries for  shipment during the season and enables us to extend fresh market sales Click to enlarge into November!  The high humidity, constant low temperature and lowered oxygen content in the cooler suspends the berries' development, enabling them to maintain their original color, flavor and freshness.  Fresh berries are shipped by refrigerated truck or air to worldwide markets, arriving in two days or less.
