Blueberry Growing Regions of Chile

We are proud to have played a role in launching Chile’s blueberry industry with our involvement in one of the first plantings of blueberries in 1982. We worked with industry pioneers including such names as Zegers, Romero, Moller and DeBlasis. Our first order was done by Telex exchange – a decades old form of sending text-like messages by land phone lines. For more than thirty years, we have worked hard to deliver new genetics, plants and technical support to the Chilean blueberry industry.

Today we serve Chilean growers with exceptional plants through our long-time partnership with Stonefly Nursery. Two multi-generational families, the Brazeltons of Fall Creek and the Goycooleas of Stonefly, are aligned to support the future of the Chilean blueberry industry. Fall Creek provides the genetics, Stonefly nursery delivers plants.

In addition to plants and access to our extensive variety portfolio, Fall Creek and our regional licensee Stonefly Nursery provides grower support. Fall Creek continues to directly engage Chile’s growers with our local technical team led by Patricio Fernández Gutiérrez. Patricio is one of the industry’s foremost blueberry experts. The best blueberry companies in Latin America and beyond have come to rely on Patricio’s expertise and professionalism. This includes areas such as field planning, soil preparation, variety selection, planting advice, post planting care and more. We have decades of experience collaborating with the world’s blueberry growers. We’ve learned a tremendous amount in that time and we’re happy to share it with our customers.
