Raspberry Plug Plants
Our raspberry plug plants combine disease-free stock with field-ready development. Using sterile tissue culture techniques, we produce vigorous plants optimized for machine harvesting. These cultivars deliver high yields while maintaining the quality standards required by the frozen and processed food industry.
Blackberry Plug Plants
Commercial-grade blackberry plants developed through USDA breeding program collaborations. Our greenhouse-grown plugs ensure consistent quality and adaptability to northern climates. Each plant undergoes rigorous testing for harvestability and environmental resilience.
Breeding Program
Two-decade partnership with New Zealand's Institute of Pacific Berries creates regionally adapted cultivars. We combine imported germplasm with domestic strains to develop disease-resistant varieties that maximize grower profitability through improved yields and reduced input requirements.
Tissue Culture
Sterile laboratory environment ensures virus-free plant multiplication. Our technicians use variety-specific media to maintain genetic integrity while scaling production. This controlled process guarantees true-to-type plants with consistent performance characteristics for commercial operations.
Greenhouse Production
Biodegradable Ellepots support sustainable root development in our climate-controlled greenhouses. Plants reach optimal field-ready size while maintaining environmental responsibility. Washington State Department of Agriculture inspections verify compliance with all phytosanitary requirements before customer delivery.
