How Healthy Are You Living?

The gentle rains, the moderate temperatures and the rich fertile soil of the Pacific Northwest provide the perfect growing conditions for Bartlett Pears, Purple Plums, Bing and Mt. Rainier Cherries and Cranberries. At NWPacking we pack in the traditional canning style utilizing the latest technology. We carefully select fruit from the finest orchards to ensure that the fruit packed under our Oregon Trail label is the highest quality available. Quality assurance monitors the entire process through palletizing, but our obsession with quality control isn't limited to the processing line. Our field technicians begin with the growers, working with them to develop better planting, growing and harvesting techniques. We also operate a completely equipped food laboratory. Fully trained food technologists test the product at every stage of processing to assure the highest standard of quality.


Fruits and vegetables contain essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber that may help protect you from chronic diseases. Compared with people who consume a diet with only small amounts of fruits and vegetables, those who eat more generous amounts are likely to have reduced risk of chronic diseases, including stroke and perhaps other cardiovascular diseases, and certain cancers. All forms of fruits and vegetables provide a positive contribution to the diet, not just fresh. Our canned fruits provide a convenient and inexpensive alternative to less nutritious snacks and menu items.



As seen on the chart below, cranberries have the highest levels of antioxidants per gram. Antioxidants are substances or nutrients in our foods which can prevent or slow the oxidative damage to our body. They may also enhance immune defense and therefore lower the risk of cancer and infection. Take advantage of our NEW Oregon Trail Canned Cranberry Sauces for a nutritious addition to your holiday menu.
