Oregon Fruit Real Fruit from Real Fruit People. Family Owned in Salem Oregon since 1935. Oregon Fruit Products is a family owned and operated company.

We take pride in the high quality and consistent products we provide to the marketplace, along with service and integrity not commonly found in today’s businesses. The beginnings of the business started back in the 1920s when company founder Max Gehlar offered his dried fruits to the market place. During the depression year of 1935 the “Oregon” brand was established and the company shifted its focus from dried fruits to canned specialty fruits. Oregon Fruit Products is located in Salem, Oregon which is nestled in the fertile Willamette Valley of Northwestern Oregon. This area is blessed with relatively mild winters and springs during which we receive most of our 45 inches of annual rainfall. These winters and springs, followed by warm sunny summer days, give our fruit the flavor, size and natural sweetness unparalleled in the world. Our growers are located as close as a 10 minute drive from our Salem plant. This area is one of the best geographical areas in the world for our preferred hand harvested fruits and berries. The vast area we draw from also greatly decreases the risk of major crop loss due to weather or plant disease. We are proud of our number one position nationally in canned specialty fruits, in addition to our recognized quality aseptic and frozen products produced by our industrial department. All of our products are certified Kosher, allergen free, gluten free, preservative free, non GMO and vegetarian. Our facility is inspected regularly by third party and regulatory inspectors.

Portland Syrups started in 2012 on a home stovetop with 3 flavors. Now it’s close to 40 SKUs, shipping to bars and beverage makers across the country. Somewhere along the way they found real fruit puree. Ours, as it happens.

We spent a morning on their production floor watching syrup get made, one kettle at a time - read more here: https://oregonfruit.com/blogs/news/portland-syrups-real-fruit-partner

Most brewers reach for cranberry once a year. It goes into a winter stout with cinnamon and orange peel, then back on the shelf until next November.
That undersells it. Cranberry brings acid, color and a dry finish to a lot more than stouts. Our new post covers six styles where it fits, from gose and pilsner to a Viking inspired gruit from Yellow Springs Brewery. It also has usage rates from Dan Wirth, our fermentation sales manager, and a heads up on why cranberry can slow your yeast down.

Last year you loved our Loganberry aseptic puree from Bauman's Farm, just down the road from us in the Willamette Valley. This fall we're making it again, plus something new from the same farm.

Introducing Oregon Strawberry, a blend of strawberry varietals grown entirely at Bauman's. It's a deeper red than our standard strawberry puree, closer to the color of jam, with rich fruit character to match. If Oregon-grown fruit matters to your customers, or you want color that comes from the fruit itself, start here.

And Loganberry, the raspberry and blackberry cross, is just as bright and tart-sweet as you remember.

Both are shelf-stable aseptic purees, and quantities are limited to this year's harvest.

What is the fajita effect? It's why a bright, fruited b**r gets ordered before anyone tastes it. knows it well.

We sat down with Eli Kolodny, Technical Director at Brewing, to talk about why Sippin' Blackberry has stayed on tap year round instead of rotating out with the seasons.

Raspberry. Blackberry. Marionberry. Loganberry. Boysenberry. They're all in the same family, called caneberries, and each one built its own personality over a long history of breeding here in Oregon. Marionberry, for example, is not just a fancy name for blackberry. It's its own variety, bred at Oregon State and released in 1956.

We wrote up the whole family tree on the blog, including a first look at our loganberry coming back this month, grown by Bauman's Farm and Garden, after selling out in its first year. Read it here: https://oregonfruit.com/blogs/news/what-is-a-caneberry

"Clean label" doesn't have an official definition, but it's driving real decisions in foodservice kitchens. According to Datassential, nearly 70% of operators said guests are actively asking for it, and 90% wish someone would just define it clearly.

We dug into what the data says operators actually mean by "clean label": short ingredient lists, no artificial colors or preservatives, things you can pronounce — and what it's costing them to get there. (Spoiler: more than they'd like.)

Premixed cocktails and RTDs grew 17.1% by volume in 2025. That one segment pulled the entire US spirits category into growth for the year, and passed vodka to become the largest spirits category by volume.

But what's driving it?

We went through the numbers and pulled out what it all means if you are thinking about your next beverage.
