October Updates

The days are getting shorter and colder and that means fall is in full force. We have been keeping busy around the farm and getting all our crops ready for winter. We are also enjoying watching our blueberry fields turn from their lush green color to autumn’s deep red. 

With all of our berries being now out of season we have frozen available in blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries. Unfortunately however, the raspberries sold like hot cakes and we are out of them till next season. 

For this upcoming holiday season we have added new gift boxes to our website that make for the perfect healthy holiday gift, these are also a perfect treat for your. We are currently sold out of our blueberry speed, but never fear, we will have it back in stock in mid-November. 

October Special:

Head on over to our website to check out our special this month! In honor of Halloween we have paired a 4oz bag of dried blueberries with our delicious 3oz bag of chocolate blueberry clusters for $11 (plus shipping). We will have the chocolate clusters available this month and for the holiday season. Get them while you can! Link

This is also the time of the year when we are able to ship our frozen berries at a better rate by ground. This is not offered through our site, so if you try ordering through it you will end up paying normal prices. If you interested in this please call our office at 541-752-0460 between 10 am-4pm Pacific time, Monday through Friday.

Follow us on Facebook, and Pinterest

If you have already followed us on Pinterest please note we are currently updating to a company Pinterest site and request you like our new profile page so that you still see all of our pins. Thanks for your help in making this transition as smooth as possible!
