The Oppenheimer Group has inked a deal with an Oregon fruit grower, expanding both its locally grown and export offerings.

Vancouver, B.C.-based Oppenheimer will market apples, cherries, plums and Italian prunes grown by Milton-Freewater, Ore.-based Blue Mountain Growers, according to an Oppenheimer news release.

Oppenheimer’s Blue Mountain offerings will kick off with cherries in June, to be followed by plums and prunes, and, in late summer, braeburn, fuji, gala, golden delicious, granny smith, Honeycrisp, jonagold and red delicious apples.

Fruit will be marketed both for locally-grown programs and for Oppenheimer’s export markets.

Blue Mountain grows in the Walla Walla Valley, the Grande Ronde Valley and the Columbia Basin. The company packs under the Blue Goose and Blue Ore labels.

The Blue Mountain partnership bolsters Oppenheimer’s Northwest offerings, which also include Enza Jazz, Pacific Rose and Envy apples, grown throughout eastern Washington; and cherries from The Dalles, Ore.-based Orchard View Farms.
