We are Oregon Fruit Products, a family owned business committed to Oregon and the Willamette Valley for 83 years. Our Oregon Specialty Fruit black label cans are a staple for family cooks, providing the highest quality fruit for luscious pies, tangy salsas and juicy cocktails. Since our inception in 1935, our fruit has been welcomed into many kitchens, creating delicious memories for our valued customers.
In addition to cans, sales of the company's fruit purees have exploded in recent years, thanks to a booming craft beverage industry looking to add new flavors to their line up, and the export business continues to climb. The food service business is also a growth engine as restaurants look to enhance their menu with healthy and interesting new offerings. Still, the iconic black label cans remain on the shelves of grocers nationwide, recognized by a new generation of customers who occasionally call the company to share how they re-discovered the brand because they used to see the cans in their grandmother's pantry.
From our start, we have focused on the fruit and building trusted relationships with skilled growers and passionate customers. While we are committed to our heritage of bringing 'fruit to life', we are working to innovate, recently moving to a new facility, researching new markets and products, expanding further into the fermentation, export and food service sectors with new products. No longer are we only canned fruit, but we are an organization focused on the future. We are looking for a passionate, qualified team member to help usher us into that future.
