About

Marrionberries are a succulent Pacific Northwestern fruit. It was introduced in 1956 at Oregon State University and developed in Marion County. While they grow throughout the Pacific Northwest, 90%% of the world’s crops are grown around the Marion County area.
There are few spots in the world where caneberries (the blackberry family) grow and thrive, and the Willamette Valley in Oregon provides the perfect climate: a moist spring followed by hot summer days and cool nights.
Their flavor is far superior, even to Boysenberries. The marionberry is a cross between two hybrids - the smaller, tasty Chehalem and the larger high-producing Ollalie - and is big, fat and distinctively sweet. Marionberries usually reach their peak around mid-July.
