Since acquiring the business they have added to the product line, supplying grocery stores, farm stands and restaurants in the region PLUS NCG Co-ops!Ĭo-op shoppers were introduced to Willamette Valley Pie Company pies during our hugely successful 2017 holiday pie program. They had been supplying LaSuisse Specialty Foods the fruit for their pies and when LaSuisse decided to sell their business WVFC jumped at the opportunity, not only because it was a natural fit, but because the company had notoriety with the locals for having pies ‘as good as grandma’s!’ WVFC continue to use their original recipes and build the pies from scratch using all-natural ingredients. In 2001, WVFC purchased a pie company from a neighbor just down the road from them.

They grow strawberries, raspberries, boysenberries, blueberries, a large variety of blackberries, cranberries and the local Oregon favorite, Marionberries. WVFC is a family-owned business, not a cooperative, but they work closely with an additional 20-30 local growers each year in order to supply all of their various markets.Each summer they process, on average, 12 million pounds of fruit. What began in 1999 as a small cannery-style operation in a backyard warehouse has quickly turned into WVFC being one of the Northwest’s leading processors of high-quality berry products. Willamette Valley Fruit Company was started in 1999 by the Gerald Roth family, who has been growing berries locally in Salem, Oregon for three generations.
