Southern Specialties Celebrates 10 Years of Blueberries from British Columbia



POMPANO BEACH, FL – This July marks the tenth year that Southern Specialties, Inc. has shipped blueberries from British Columbia.

“This bountiful Canadian growing region is an excellent source of high quality blueberries that round out our company’s summer berry offerings.  Southern Specialties will then transition its blueberry program to Argentina as part of our year round berry supplies,” said Geno Valdes, Vice President of Sales for the company.

The berries ship from Abbotsford, B.C. and the company’s Pompano Beach, Florida warehouse, according to a press release.  Southern Selects brand blueberries are available from this region from July through September.  Seasonal varieties include Duke, Blue Crop and Elliots.

Seasonally available Adelita variety raspberries and premium blackberries are also available and compliment Southern Specialties’ blueberry program. They are available under the Southern Selects and other labels.
