Blueberries are grown by Gingerich Farms in Canby, OR. 

Gingerich Farms was founded in 1919 and possesses a proud and splendid history. Over the years it has been worked and maintained by five consecutive generations. Verne Gingerich, the farm’s current patriarch, recalls the beginning, “My great grandpa [bought the property] and homesteaded across the street from where the farm is today. His children were the first full generation raised here.” Back then, the farm grew various crops and raised horses, chickens, cows, sheep, and pigs. In 1968, Gingerich Farms began growing Christmas trees; at that time Verne was ten years old.

Like many farmers, Verne took time away from the farm to gain experience in a different field. After two years, he was genuinely looking forward to returning. “When I did come back, I wanted to raise things that I could eat,” explained Verne, “blueberries came along which was a good choice.” It was a change that has remained in place ever since.
