As the summer progresses, North Bay Produce is anticipating high-quality domestic and imported berry supplies to continue into the fall, with some areas producing abundant yields.

Aaron Hunter, North Bay’s strawberry category manager and sales associate, said berry demand remains steady throughout the season.

Naturipe Farms announced a banner year for domestically grown blueberries, driven by exceptional volume, premium quality and record-setting demand — especially for its proprietary varieties Envoy and Keepsake. These mature, flavor-forward varieties are now being harvested at scale, marking the first year of substantial domestic volume and offering retailers and consumers some of the best blueberries to ever hit the market.

Homegrown Organic Farms is offering a selection of Regenerative Organic Certified blueberries from Oregon this season. This certification reflects the ongoing commitment of its vertically integrated family of companies — Homegrown Organic Farms and AgriCare — to responsible farming practices, environmental stewardship and the well-being of farmworkers.

Fueled by growing demand from both national and local retailers, Altar Cross Farms, a family-run organic blueberry farm in eastern North Carolina, has expanded its production by 63 percent this year, now harvesting from 65 certified organic acres.

With nine decades of experience behind it, Frank Donio Inc. continues to be a trusted name in blueberries.

It was more than 25 years ago when the company unveiled its Top Crop brand to highlight its network of family-owned farms, a group of growers who have been living the tradition of cultivating the land for generations. Blueberries packed under this label are highly in demand.

In a typical year, the New Jersey season will yield an average of 12 to 14 million pounds of fresh and frozen blueberries.

Produce safety has always been at the forefront of the activities at the New Jersey Department of Agriculture.
