Our ideal Northwest climate yields plentiful crops of tasty, plump blueberries available to customers year-round in convenient frozen packs. 

To Your Health All Year Long

Blueberries have been well documented for their health benefits.  At Oregon Berry Packing Company we realize that in order for the beneficial nutrients to remain abundant, they must be preserved.  With this in mind, we developed a quick freeze process that ensures the berries' freshness while locking in the beneficial nutrients.

Our quick-freeze process preserves the antioxidants, anthocyanins, fiber, iron and vitamin C.  These healthful nutrients guard against aging, cancer, heart disease and improve eyesight.  Are blueberries the miracle fruit?  All signs point to yes.

Handled With Care

Because the time between picking and cooling is critical to preserving freshness, picked blueberries are rushed to our pre-cooler and brought below 40° F as quickly as possible.  A color chlorophyll sorter separates out unripe fruit, and a blower gently removes field debris.  Berries pass through two de-stemmers and are washed.  Another blower removes excess moisture.  They then pass through an inspection line where any defective berries are removed by hand.

Before being packed into bulk containers for freezing, the berries pass through a metal detector to guarantee against any metal particles.  This extra precaution protects consumers and removes any potential liability for our wholesale distributors.  An automatic filler sends the berries to plastic lined 30-lb. boxes.  The filled containers are moved to cold storage within two hours of being processed.

Packed to Your Specs

Although most customers want frozen blueberries as whole, unsweetened fruit, we can customize many orders.  Frozen blueberry season typically lasts from July 15th through August 15th, but berries can be purchased year-round.
