You haven't truly lived until you've tried an artisan caramel apple pie so fresh it tastes like it was plucked right out of an apple tree in the Willamette Valley. The same can be said of a fresh apricot crunch pie, or a delicious artisan peach raspberry pie.

The company started out small as a cannery-style operation in a warehouse in the backyard, but soon turned into one of the Pacific Northwest's leading producers of high quality berries and products like packaged fruit, jams and syrups, and oh so delicious pies.
