Blackberries are perennial plants which typically peak during June in the Southern states, and in July in the Northern states. Our Naturipe Foods locations of over 1,000 grower-owned farms span two hemispheres, which means that you can count on our supply of fresh, sustainable fruit products year-round.
Admired for their unique and complex flavor profile, blackberries have an essence that captures the warmth of a summer day and their vibrant color catapults them to the top of the antioxidant charts. With an underlying earthiness, hints of sweet and a lively tartness, wholesome blackberries present an explosion of flavor and well-being that is larger than life.
Crossing Chehalem and Olallie blackberry seedlings has produced a hearty hybrid known as the Marionberry. With its large size and distinct flavor, the Marionberry is a premium processing berry and an ingredient in the repertoires of gourmet chefs and specialty food manufacturers. The quality of Naturipe Foods Marionberry is outstanding, with a flavor superior to Boysenberry or Evergreen.
The Tupi blackberry is also a sturdy hybrid grown south of the border, from Mexico to Brazil. The offspring of the Comanche and Uruguai blackberries, the Tupi variety produces big fruits with black and uniform coloration and a perfectly balanced flavor that hovers between acidity and sugar. Its long, uninterrupted growing season from October to June allows consumers to enjoy fresh Tupi blackberries long after the end of the growing season in North America.
