Wild Northwest Berries
Nearly everyone raised in the Pacific Northwest harbors special memories of berry picking, and our family is no exception. We've been picking wild berries for more than three generations and we're still going strong.

Fresh from the bush or vine, berries are one of nature's sweetest, most delicious foods. Naturally healthy and organic, wild berries are low in calories (averaging about 80 calories per cup), and high in vitamin, potassium, iron and calcium content. They are also a wonderful source of natural fiber.

Wild berries have been highly regarded by Pacific Northwest natives for centuries. Each year, they honor the berries at special Berry Ceremonies. Wild berries, including wild huckleberries, are among the ceremonial foods served at their First Salmon Celebration each spring.

Many of the wild berries collected by Northwest natives were preserved for use throughout the year. Often, they were mashed and cooked in bent wood cedar boxes into a thickened "jam." The jam was poured into cedar frames lined with skunk cabbage leaves; then dried over a slow fire. The resulting fruit cakes were rolled and stored for later use, much like the "fruit leather" sold today.

Early Pioneers to the Northwest quickly learned to appreciate the delicious sweet fruit of our wild berries, turning them into their traditional jams, jellies, pies and cobblers.

In the tradition of early Northwest settlers, we continue to collect and preserve these wild Northwest berries, so that people around the world can savor their unsurpassed flavor.

We flash freeze our wild berries the day they are harvested. Each order is shipped in sealed, insulated containers packed in dry ice.

HOH RIVER WILD RED HUCKLEBERRIES
Hoh River Wild Red Huckleberries - Picking Wild Red Huckleberries has been a summer joy for generations of people in the coastal wildlands of the Pacific Northwest. These brilliant reddish orange berries are often found growing out of cedar stumps. They love shaded areas in the lowlands, especially second growth and logged off lands. The botanical name for wild red huckleberries is Vaccinium parvifolium. Their wonderful tart flavor makes them delicious fresh from the vine, or turned into pies or preserves. Native Americans and early pioneers used to gather red huckleberries by shaking the berry laden branches over a mat or blanket. Some Indian tribes mashed and dried them into cakes. Pioneer women used them for sauces and glazes for wild salmon and game. An All American favorite is a stack of red huckleberry pancakes topped with butter and real maple syrup. Modern cooks love to match the refreshing tart flavor of wild red huckleberry sauce with lamb or pork. Of course, wild red huckleberries are still favored for desserts, including pies, cobblers and fresh berry tarts.

WILD MOUNTAIN BLUEBERRIES
Wild Mountain Blueberries - Our Natural Wild Mountain Blueberries grow “naturally organic” high in the foothills and mountain of the Cascade Mountains of the Pacific Northwest to Alaska.So closely related to our region’s wild huckleberries few pickers know or can tell the difference. However, a close look immediately reveals a unique wild berry fruit much different in size and appearance from our Northwest Wild Blue Huckleberries. Wild Mountain Blueberries are most often smaller in size and possess a unique tangy, mild yet tart taste and flavor very different from our sweet tasting wild blue huckleberries. In addition to a wonderful full-bodied flavor, wild blueberries grow on low bushes that produce fruit with a slight white powdered look covering a berry that can range in color from sky blue to dark blue.

Seven Vaccinium species native to western North America were compared to highbush blueberries and half-high blueberries (hybrids between highbush and lowbush blueberries).
