With rising input costs and supply chain issues, grower Diamond Blueberry Inc., based in Hammonton, NJ, has taken mitigating steps toward a successful season. “We bought supplies early so we would have a good supply of inputs to start out with,” said Diamond’s David Berger. “We wanted to get a jump on having everything we needed. We are preparing now and trying to think ahead to be able to have the supply for our customers.”

Consalo Family Farms has been in the farming industry since the 1920s. “I represent my family’s fourth-generation and have watched our company grow and expand from just one tractor to where we are today,” said Chelsea Consalo, EVP of Consalo Family Farms and the Fresh Wave, which is the sole marketer of all products grown by the Vineland, NJ-based company. “Blueberries are what we do. I am personally very passionate about our blueberry farms and spend my summer managing the operation.”

There were a few cold nights in the blueberry capital of the world, but New Jersey blueberries are ripe and ready to start harvesting. Our growers are expecting a full, robust crop of the berries customers crave.

Consumers wait for blueberries from the Garden State all year long because they know Jersey Fresh blueberries will provide the flavor and size they desire.

Jersey Fresh blueberries will be ready for shelves the week of June 13th and remain as the bigger, better more flavorful berries.

Berries Paradise and Agrovision formed a berry marketing partnership to serve North America. This joint venture creates a year-round, vertically integrated selection of conventional and organic blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. It provides retail customers with a one-stop shop of high-quality, innovative and flavorful berries at scale. The combined current planted acreage is 10,000 acres, yielding 120 million pounds across all three berries from Peru and Mexico. 

It’s peak berry season on the California Central Coast and production is hitting its stride. Well•Pict's berry quality has been fantastic for strawberries coming out of Watsonville, and the raspberry crop — also starting to produce in Watsonville — will be hitting promotable volumes soon.

Berry lovers have a new reason to hit the produce aisle this summer. Driscoll’s newest flavor innovation, Tropical Bliss, expands its premium, high-flavor strawberry collection, which also includes Sweetest Batch and Rosé Berries.
