1973
Our Beginning
Oregon Blueberry enters the industry somewhat by accident. From a small planting of 5 acres resident on a newly acquired farm, the young company quickly gains an appreciation for the mighty blueberry. Much more acreage is added over the next ten years as consumer demand explodes.
1980
Early Years in the Blueberry Industry
The U.S. and Canada produce approximately 92% of reported world blueberry production (65,000 metric tons). Most U.S. production comes from Maine, Michigan, and New Jersey. World production beyond North America is limited to Sweden, New Zealand, France, and Italy.
1982
Oregon Blueberry Nursery Established
With an increasing expertise as blueberry farmers, Oregon Blueberry establishes its nursery to meet internal demand as well as demand from new growers entering the North American market. The nursery thrives as new fields of highbush blueberry spread across North America.
1987
Continuing Industry Growth
Morocco enters the world market in a minor way but sets a course for growth that will be followed by other countries in coming years. The world production of blueberries expands 64% from 1980 led by 69% growth in the United States and 218% growth in Canada.
