Growing Premium Blueberries

At Valley Select Foods, blueberry farming is more than just agriculture—it’s a commitment to quality, freshness, and innovation. Located in Abbotsford in the heart of British Columbia’s berry-growing region, the company has built its reputation on producing premium blueberries for customers across North America.

The secret begins in the field. Blueberries are carefully grown and harvested at the precise moment they reach peak ripeness, ensuring they retain their flavour, nutrients, and vibrant colour. Once picked, the berries move quickly to Valley Select’s nearby processing facility, allowing them to be packed and prepared for delivery within 24 hours. This close connection between field and facility helps preserve freshness and extend shelf life.

Technology also plays an important role. Advanced optical sorting systems analyze each berry for size and firmness, while modern air-decontamination systems help maintain strict food safety standards. These innovations allow Valley Select Foods to produce consistent, high-quality fruit for both fresh and frozen markets.

Blueberries themselves are packed with benefits. Their rich blue colour comes from anthocyanins—powerful antioxidants that contribute to both their nutritional value and signature taste. Whether enjoyed fresh, frozen, or incorporated into food products, these small berries deliver big flavour and health benefits.

From planting and growing to sorting and packaging, Valley Select Foods demonstrates how modern farming and technology can work together to deliver premium blueberries to tables around the world.
