Our Farm
Our Roots
Golden Eagle Farms is a global family business that offers complete traceability of our products from planting to packaging. We are dedicated to exercising best practices across the entire production cycle to deliver our customers the best berries available in the market.
Our Process
Blueberries
Our People
Golden Eagle Farms’ selection of highbush blueberries is carefully chosen to suit the Pacific Northwest region. Our berries typically begin to ripen in late June and continue through September.
Cranberries
Our Promise
At the foot of the Thompson and Cascade mountain ranges in British Columbia flow alpine waters into the Golden Eagle Valley. Abundant wetland vegetation and perfect diurnal temperature variation help nourish our fields to grow superior cranberries.
Our Commitment
Golden Eagle Farms is committed to producing quality berries that are healthy and delicious. In addition to being PrimusGFS Certified, Golden Eagle Berries is a proud member of the BC Blueberry Council, the North American Blueberry Council (NABC), the US Highbush Blueberry Council (USHBC), and the Orthodox Rabbinical Council of BC. Our commitment to safety and quality of procedure is proved through the memberships to these established bodies.
Our Fields
Golden Eagle Farms cultivates over 3,500 acres of farmland in the Pacific Northwest, one of the most fertile areas in the world. Each farm is located near a freshwater source, providing our berries with fresh flowing water and keeping the soils nutrient-rich and fertile. Our fields are carefully maintained year-round and we use the latest technology to plant and grow our berries. Our head office is located on the farm in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia where we operate out of our main packing facility.
Our Plant
Our 160,000 sq ft plant was built in 2006 and has enabled Golden Eagle Farms to become a full-service farming operation. Fully equipped with the latest technology, our production facility processes all 25 million pounds of berries that are produced by our farms each season! Further, our plant only processes fruit from our own fields, and that means we can provide fully traceable berries.
Our Apiaries
An important part of growing quality berries is their pollination. Golden Eagle Farms ensures this process is successful by co-operating an apiary on-site. Our staff of apiculturists prepare the honey and bumble bee colonies early in the year to achieve peak population during the blooming period of the blueberries.
Quality & Consistency
Golden Eagle Farms is committed to the highest standards of cold-chain management and traceability. Our temperature control process at our world-class production facility, and the proximity of our plant to our fields, ensures retention of firmness and flavour and ensures delivery of a delicious berry from field to table. Golden Eagle is also a single farm packer which means we can trace every berry back to one of our family-owned fields. Our commitment to quality means we only handle products we have grown ourselves. We do not purchase berries from other farms.
