What's different about our Farmers' Market booth?
Meeker red raspberries are well suited for commercial or home freezing, as well as jams and jellies, with a small percentage of the crop destined for fresh markets locally and worldwide. In Oregon, the majority of the crop is processed as individually quick frozen raspberries, frozen raspberry puree, or frozen raspberry juice concentrate. Other processing methods include canning, drying, processed bakery fruit fillings and flavoring, as well as aseptic packaging.

Meeker
Red Raspberry: Fruit is medium to large, medium to dark red, firm, with
high sugar content and delicious flavor. Bred to be stronger and firmer so that it can withstand
mechanical harvesting without loss of quality in the harvested berry. 
Black Diamond
Blackberry also known as Thornless Evergreen: The fruit is black, one and half inches long, firm and sweet.
The most productive of all the commercially grown blackberries is the Black
Diamond, or Thornless Evergreen. This variety is very popular with growers because of it's ease in growing and larger yields. The
Black Diamond is very vigorous, disease resistant and productive, yielding 6-10 tons per acre.
