Company Description :

With over 50 years of industry excellence, Columbia Fruit is a trusted provider of high-quality fruit. As a family-owned business, we are at the forefront of the industry, dedicated to exceeding customer expectations and fostering a supportive work environment.

When family is the foundation for what you do, then doing it best comes naturally. Our story begins back in 1959 with a young boy who dreamed of being a farmer.

Raised by his grandparents, they took his dream to heart, and when the opportunity presented itself, they were able to purchase a dairy farm from a friendly neighbor.

From there, our history took root. In the mid-80s, the young boy, now a grown man, saw a new opportunity and, along with our family, transformed the dairy into fields of berries.

We’ve been passionate about our fruit ever since.
