Meet Our Grower Partners
Andersen Organics
Andersen Organics was established by Brian and Denise Andersen in 1984. Their 500+ acre family farm is located in the heart of the sunny Columbia Basin near Othello, WA.
The Andersen family has always had a deep connection to the land on which they farm and this ultimately led them to become certified organic in 2003. Since this time, they have become experts on using composted manures to create fertile, healthy soil. This composted manure is applied months before planting so that when it comes time to plant, their crops have access to vital nutrients from day one.
Andersen Organics also utilizes drip tape irrigation within their fields. While this method is much more laborious and time consuming, it is an important tool in facilitating the conservation of water and producing superior quality produce.
Knowing that Bridges Produce and the Andersen family share the same core values of protecting natural resource and providing high quality organic produce make this a spectacular partnership.

Organic Blueberry Growers
Bridges Produce continues to expand their Northwest organic berry program with production partners in all key growing regions of the Pacific Northwest. Bridges represents fresh market focused independent operations who cultivate specialty product, allowing continuous supply to customers from June through late September.
Some of Bridges grower partners pack in their own labels to maintain their unique identity in the market and to garner recognition for their premium quality fruit. We will also have a Bridges label for 4.4oz, 6oz, Pint, 18oz, and 2 lb clamshell.
For our central Washington grower partners, it is all about the customer eating experience, and you can taste the difference. These growers are hand-picked operations that utilize aggressive pruning, multiple harvests and patiently wait for peak maturity, to ensures excellent size and quality. NW blueberries turn blue long before they are ready to eat, our partners wait to pick the fruit, continuing to test the Brix to ensure the berries are fully mature and very flavorful.
