The Oppenheimer Group, based in Vancouver, BC, announced Jan. 30 that it has entered into an exclusive new grower partnership with Blue Mountain Growers Inc., based in Milton-Freewater, OR. The agreement calls for Oppenheimer to market apples, cherries, plums and Italian prunes packed in the historic “Blue Goose” and “Blue Ore” labels.

Blue Mountain Growers produces in three climatically diverse but adjacent regions: the Walla Walla Valley, Grande Ronde Valley and the Columbia Basin.
