WATSONVILLE, CA - I eat blueberries with breakfast every morning, so California Giant Berry Farms’ recent update caught my attention. The berry grower forecasts significant volumes of domestic blueberries ahead, touting high yields and exceptional quality as consumer demand persists.

“We’re forecasting a strong harvest of domestic conventional and organic blueberries in the immediate months, from several different growing regions including California, Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina. This will all be followed by a large blueberry crop coming from the Pacific Northwest growing regions in early July,” shared Thomas Smith, Director of Sales.

Conventionally grown Florida blueberries have just begun harvesting, and California Giant expects peak volumes by mid-to-late April. Georgia production is forecasted to start in early April as well and will hit peak production in early May. Concurrently, the North Carolina growing region will add to volumes that bolster the southeast season, a press release noted.

Promotable volumes from the opposite side of the states—California’s Central Valley—will provide ample supplies of fresh blueberries from mid-May through mid-to-late June. California Giant has been harvesting its Oxnard, California, organic blueberry crop since early 2024 and will hit peak production volume in early April, before a steady decline in May. The Central Valley organic blueberry crop will begin peak production in late April with production continuing through May.

“We’re on the right track to have a very good supply of high-quality blueberries throughout the domestic season,” added Smith.

Through the shared industry goal to drive significant increases in blueberry consumption, California Giant continues to provide a year-round supply of sustainably grown fresh berries that represent the highest standards for quality and consistency.
