June 1st start predicted for Oregon blueberries

The 2015 Oregon Blueberry season will start harvest 7-10 days earlier than usual due to a mild winter and warmer than typical spring. Harvest will start in the Willamette Valley with the popular Duke variety as early as June 1st and promotable volumes will be available the 2nd week of June. Oregon blueberries from Curry & Company will be available from the start of the season until October.

“June and July will be great months for retailers to promote blueberries,” states company President, Matt Curry. “We will have plenty of Oregon blueberries for 4th of July promotions, and even for Father’s Day promotions with this early start. We are already seeing nice size in late April and are excited for the season to begin.”
During the peak of the season, Curry & Company will pack primarily in 6oz, pint, 18oz and 2# clamshells. The larger size packages will be available from the first day of the season, until volumes start slowing down in late July when production will focus on the 6oz clamshell.

The state of Oregon is one of the largest blueberry producing states in the U.S. and is the largest producing state on the West Coast. Other leading states include Michigan, New Jersey, Georgia, California and Washington.

Curry & Company blueberries are packed and shipped from their warehouse in Brooks, OR and from their Los Angeles warehouse.

Curry & Co. is headquartered in Brooks, OR. They are 52-week suppliers of blueberries, sweet onions, and onions. Plus, they have a seasonal Vidalia Sweet Carrot program and a seasonal West coast blackberry program.
