Fall Creek®

A berry with history … and a future Blueberries are one of the few fruits native to North America, and have been enjoyed for centuries. Indigenous peoples not only ate them fresh but dried them to use in stews in winter. Today, blueberries are available around the world all year, thanks to carefully planned growing seasons across both hemispheres. At Fall Creek®, we help growers across the world bring this ancient fruit into the future with advanced genetics and tailored support. #FallCreek #AWorldWithBetterBlueberries #BetterBlueberries #GlobalSupportLocalCare #BlueberryFarming #GrowerSupport #BlueberryInnovation #BerryGenetics #BlueberryFacts

Fall Creek® employees love the annual tradition of the Family U-Pick Day. More than 240 people, armed with buckets and baskets, descended on our Oregon research farm Saturday to pick fresh blueberries to take home.   Eighty-six families came, spanning three generations, to share in the camaraderie and joy of a fun morning harvesting berries. Inside Sales Representative Nathan Lagman has been to many Family U-Pick Days. While he most loves to eat blueberries fresh, he is an avid cook and freezes large quantities for baking pancake syrups, and smoothies. Lagman said, "I love to go to the u-pick every year for the berries, but I especially love it because I get to see the families of many co-workers."   Human Resources Specialist Carolina Jackson was thrilled to attend her first u-pick day. She shared, "We had such a sweet time! My daughter and I loved joining work friends and their kids for a fun morning of picking (and taste-testing!) the most delicious blueberries. Grateful for the community, the berries, and the beauty all around us. Our fridge and freezer are now full of berries to get us through until next year!"   Family U-Pick Day is just one of many employee benefits offered by Fall Creek®. A special thank you to Dan Ambrosi and our entire R&D team for making this day possible for the employees and families of Fall Creek®. #fallcreekblueberries #fallcreekemployees #fallcreekemployeebenefits #blueberrypicking

Fall Creek® was honored to host Oregon's student State Officers of the Future Farmers of America (FFA) for an educational morning of presentations, facility tours, and product tastings. We recognize that investing in agricultural education is essential for attracting top talent to our industry. The FFA students we met today exemplify the caliber of leadership and dedication that will drive agriculture forward – their engagement and thoughtful questions throughout our presentations were remarkable. During their visit to Fall Creek®, students gained insights into the blueberry industry, explored diverse career pathways within our organization, and toured our high chill research facilities while experiencing our premium berry varieties firsthand. Established in 1928, FFA continues to be a cornerstone organization in developing agricultural leaders through comprehensive educational programming, experiential learning, and leadership development initiatives. We're proud to support these emerging leaders and demonstrate the dynamic opportunities available in modern agriculture. Today's students are tomorrow's innovators, and we look forward to seeing the impact they'll make in our industry. #futurefarmersofamerica #fallcreekblueberries #fallcreekeducation #ageducation #goblueberries #aworldwithbetterblueberries

Fall Creek®'s high chill LoretoBlue® 'FC11-118' produces high yields of blueberries with the majority of the total crop concentrated in two harvest periods in the mid-to-late season. This variety is an excellent candidate for mechanical harvest with its bush structure, many upright and very uniform new canes produced each year.   Our US & Canada Area Manager Micah Weiss was at our Oregon research farm two weeks ago (7/1/25) and his video provides a quick look at the exceptional plant structure and loads of green fruit. LoretoBlue® 'FC11-118' is ripening quickly now and will have its first harvest this week. This variety has highly competitive yields with other varieties in the same harvest window.   Here's a chart that highlights the yield-by-week of LoretoBlue® 'FC11-118' vs Liberty, Calypso, and Cargo.   LoretoBlue® 'FC11-118' is an exciting new varieties gaining momentum with high chill growers.
