About us
Anderson Blues has been a family owned and operated blueberry farm producing supreme quality berries for over 40 years. Wayne Anderson started the farm and left it to his son Todd who carried on the family tradition along with his wife Paula, providing delicious high quality berries. My husband and I were fortunate enough to learn from our dear friends Todd and Paula over the last 20 years and have now become the new owners. We are so excited to continue the legacy of Anderson Blues and welcome the loyal customers back to the farm this season as well as new ones. We believe that providing healthy food for our family and the community is a life mission worth our dedication and hard work.
Located in the heart of the Willamette Valley, 5 miles north of Corvallis we offer a true farm experience just 10 minutes outside of the city. Our family looks forward to meeting you at the farm this summer! We value our loyal customers, and appreciate your business and support.
News - 2024
FRESH
There are still nice Bluecrop if you are willing to look inside the bush and down low you will find some of the best quality berries and in abundance. We plan to stay open from 7am until dark with the self serve model for the rest of August. Although there are some berries still ripening the picking gets much harder later in August. Spartan bushes still have a few juicy large berries if you are willing to look, the young bushes in the corner are your best bet! Bluecrop is the easiest picking Dixie, Earliblue, Patriot, Rubel, Ivanhoe, Chandler, Jersey, Legacy and the Oddball have some fruit as well!
WE-PICK:
Sold out for the season.
FROZEN
We now have some premium frozen berries from this season ready for sale in 5lb. boxes but the supply is small and will go fast. We have a new product called "Berry Bargains" they are the sorted or sub par quality berry that comes frozen for a steal of deal at 10# for $20. You can find them at the front entrance to the farm in the stand up freezer.
QUALITY
Thanks for your business and loyalty. We are committed to providing the best quality berries without the use of toxic chemicals. Although we are hand weeding and using other organic practices there are more weeds than in past years. Be assured that the berries will be just as yummy, large and easy to pick!
PRE-ORDER
We are now closing our 2024 season and will take orders again next spring.

CHANGES
Interested in the changes you see or buying mature plants? We feel lucky that we were able to continue to farm and purchase the north end of the farm. The unfortunate news is that the southern half of the farm was sold to a developer. We wanted to purchase that part as well but were not able to compete with developed land prices. The new owner (developer) has removed the plants and is selling the lots. If you are interested please find a way to contact him as we are not involved with this in any way. It is a sad loss but we have already planted many new plants and will plant more when we can. The only variety that we have lost entirely is Legacy, we only have one row. One of our new varieties, Valor contains Legacy as one parent and will have similar qualities as Legacy but will not be ready for harvest for a few years. We are experiencing high demand and fewer available berries due to the loss of the property. We are trying our best to keep up with demand but often get picked out. Please feel free to call for updates on the day you plan to come out!
