At Berry Fresh, growing berries isn’t just a job—it’s a passion that begins long before the first fruit ripens. Every berry we offer is a result of careful planning, dedication, and respect for the land. Our philosophy is simple: healthy plants, happy people, and sustainable practice make for the juiciest, most flavorful berries. From choosing the perfect soil to gently picking berries at the peak of ripeness, our growers are committed to producing fruit that’s as delicious as it is responsibly cultivated. 

Choosing the Perfect Location & Soil

Climate & Sunlight

Selecting where to grow berries is a foundational part of what we do. Berry Fresh farms are located in diverse regions across North and South America, which enables us to take advantage of ideal climates at different times of the year. These regions give our plants ample sunlight, favorable temperatures, and growing conditions that help our plants thrive and make sure your berries arrive fresh and full of flavor. 

Healthy, Nutrient-Rich Soil

Strong berry flavor starts in the soil. At Berry Fresh, we recognize that healthy soil supports vigorous roots, resilient plants and great fruit. Our growing practices—certified under standards like GlobalG.A.P.— emphasize stewardship of soil, water, and the field environment, including farm practices such as drip irrigation and maintaining a bee-friendly environment. By nurturing the ground as carefully as the plants, we give our berry varieties the foundation they need to shine. 

Planting & Nurturing the Berry Plants

Starting From Quality Seeds or Seedlings

We invest in exclusive breeding programs and collaborate with genetics partners to bring new berry varieties that deliver flavor texture and freshness. Starting with high-quality plants on trusted farms, either our own or through our grower partners, means everything is built on a solid foundation. 

Natural Growth & Care

Once our plants are in the field, we nurture them with practices rooted in responsibility and sustainability. Our growers implement integrated pest management, water stewardship, and soil restoration practices that align with our Global G.A.P. and LEAF certifications. This approach means each plant is supported to grow strong, healthy fruit without compromising environmental care or food safety. By doing so, we offer berries that are grown thoughtfully, from root to fruit. 

Blossoms to Berries: The Growing Season

As the season progresses, blossoms appear and pollinators do their work. From flower to fruit, our growers monitor plant health closely. They make sure that water, nutrients, and field conditions are right so that when those berries arrive at your table, they’re full of flavor, crisp texture, and look just as good as they taste. 

Harvesting With Care

The Right Time to Pick

Picking at the right moment is crucial. Our berries are harvested when they’re at their peak: ripe in color, size, and flavor. When they reach your home, they’re at their best. 

Handling & Packing

Once harvested, the berries are handled gently and packed using facilities that maintain our high standards for freshness, safety, and quality. All of this is part of delivering the Berry Fresh experience you rely on. 

Sustainable Practices That Make a Difference

Sustainability is woven into everything we do at Berry Fresh, not just in growth, but in packaging, transportation, and our relationships with people. We are certified under programs like GlobalG.A.P. and LEAF, which recognize efforts in pest management, soil and water stewardship, and ethical business practices. Sustainable practices done on the farms include drip irrigation, reducing energy and water waste, and maintaining habitats for pollinators. We’ve also taken action to reduce plastic usage in our packaging and ensure our overall operations leave as light an environmental footprint as possible. Caring for the land, each other, and the fruit means your family can enjoy every bite with confidence.
