| Company Background |

Our red raspberries are grown in the coastal lowlands of the Pacific Northwest where the soil and microclimate conditions are ideal for growing the best berries. Berry Acres began in 1981 when Frank DeVries planted their first 45 acres of red raspberries. In 1984 Frank's brother Ivan joined them in the growing operation. Since its beginnings in the early 1980's, the agricultural division has slowly grown and expanded. More acres of raspberries were gradually planted, so that in 1995 the DeVries Brothers began packing their own fruit which is not packed under the Whatcom Fruit label. Currently we grow raspberries on over 200 acres using industry leading growing practices with an emphasis on fruit quality and food safety. |
