"We're committed to providing our partners with a reliable berry program that supports them in every season," said Stephen Paul, deciduous category director.

The program now features:

  • Peru (September–January): Conventional and organic blueberries, including the Emerald variety grown at high elevations, prized for consistency and dependable flavor.
  • Chile (December–February): Conventional and organic blueberries sourced from leading production regions, providing seamless volume to carry programs through winter.
  • Mexico (October–May): A diverse mix of conventional and organic blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, including the premium Erandira blackberry and select raspberry varietals known for quality and flavor.

The expanded program enhances flexibility and promotional opportunities for retailers while meeting the growing demand for both organic and conventional berries.

"With the addition of Peruvian blueberries and Mexican blackberries, we've significantly increased our volume and consistency," added Jacob Gracia, imports category manager. "We're excited to work with our partners across Mexico, Peru, and Chile to build strong berry programs that deliver value across the supply chain."

Just as important as fruit quality, the company prioritizes partnerships with growers who share its values of stewardship and care for the land. By aligning with partners committed to responsible farming practices and long-term sustainability, the company extends its mission beyond the field: fostering healthier soils, stronger communities, and a resilient food system for generations to come.

Packaging flexibility, along with a range of pack formats and private-label capabilities, give retailers tools needed to meet consumer demand for both quality and convenience. Retailers and buyers are encouraged to connect with sales representatives to plan berry programs and take advantage of the expanded offerings.
