Global blueberry genetics and plant supplier with nursery production and grower support
Fall Creek operates a vertically integrated blueberry breeding and nursery business across multiple countries, with plants and genetics as core products. The company is mid-stage in operational modernization: adopting NetSuite across Europe while managing a complex, multi-region royalty infrastructure—a hiring mix weighted toward finance, research, and ops reflects the dual challenge of scaling production systems and tightening supply-chain forecasting.
Fall Creek is a privately held blueberry genetics and nursery company founded in 1978, headquartered in Lowell, Oregon. The company breeds proprietary blueberry varieties, produces nursery stock (primarily through tissue culture), and provides technical grower support and consulting across the global blueberry supply chain. Operations span the United States, Mexico, Spain, and South Africa. Revenue and profitability depend on variety adoption by commercial growers, royalty collection from licensed plant sales, and successful harvest forecasting to match demand.
The company runs on SAP Business One, NetSuite (currently being rolled out in Europe), Salesforce, Smartsheet, and Excel for core operations. SQL and Power BI support reporting and analytics.
Yes, but minimally—one engineering and one manufacturing role are currently open. Hiring velocity is accelerating, with most positions in finance (4), research (4), and operations (3).
