“We’re thrilled to see such huge — and hugely delicious! — volumes coming from Peru and Chile,” said Brian Vertrees, director of business development at Naturipe Farms. “Growing in diverse regions throughout North and South America is a top priority for Naturipe Farms, as it enables us to provide consistently exceptional berries year-round. The quality and volumes of this season is going to be unlike any other, and we’re excited to bring great tasting berries to retailers and shoppers nationwide.”
Naturipe’s organic blueberries are grown on USDA certified organic farms, demonstrating their commitment to growing principles that prioritize biodiversity, ecological balance, sustainability, natural plant fertilization, natural pest management and soil integrity. Each of Naturipe’s products, whether organic, conventional, premium products or value-added are grown and packaged with Naturipe’s mission of Cultivate with Care in mind, which places an emphasis on bettering the communities in which Naturipe’s farms and facilities operate.
Given this year’s deviation from typical seasonal blueberry volumes, retailers should heavily promote organic blueberries to customers, as they may otherwise not be searching for them at the store.
