BERRY ACRES

Berry Acres Agricultural began in 1980 when Frank DeVries planted the first 45 acres of red raspberries. In 1984 Frank's brother Ivan joined him in the growing operation. Since its beginnings in the early 1980's, the company has slowly grown and expanded. More acres of raspberries were gradually planted, so that in 1995 the DeVries Brothers began packing their own fruit which is now packed under the Whatcom Fruit label... The farm has continued to grow and flourish under the leadership of Frank, his wife Marilyn, and son, Daniel. In 2010, Berry Acres started an IQF processing plant (with partner Rolf Haugen) called Active Berry Packers (also located in Lynden, WA). Over the past years, we have been able to tweak and perfect our practices to produce the perfect IQF berry to satisfy all customers... Whatcom Fruit is family owned and employs several generations of local families and friends. We have a strong connection to the land and are committed to growing, harvesting and processing..
