SunnyRidge Farm has been part of the Argentine blueberry industry since 1998. Faced with similar varieties, climates and marketing conditions as Florida, working with the Argentine growers and exporters has been and continues to be a great fit for SunnyRidge Farm. Today, SunnyRidge represents more than 25% of all production in Argentina with growers located in the three main growing regions of Tucumán, Concordia and Buenos Aires.
Bringing our expertise in sales and operations to Argentina and partnering with local growers who are committed to high standards, we are able to continue to fulfill our company mission of reliably supplying great-tasting healthy berries every day of the year. And our professional logistics team and in-depth knowledge of import regulations, allow us to bring quality berries to market in the quickest and most efficient manner possible so they arrive at the peak of freshness.
We continue to establish new business relationships and add to our family of the finest Argentine growers so that we may further our ability to supply our customers with quality blueberries year round.

SunnyRidge Farm established its operations in Chile in 1999. And in 2002, SunnyRidge opened its first permanent production and relations office in Santiago. Carlos Ferrer, our local executive, manages our day to day operations and business relationships with our family of Chilean exporters and growers. The office is also in charge of coordinating shipments and ensuring that berries are packed to meet our customer needs and SunnyRidge Farm’s quality standards.
By partnering with the top local export companies, SunnyRidge Chile already represents approximately 15% of the Chilean blueberry market. |

In addition to adding more quality-minded growers, SunnyRidge continues to pioneer innovative methods of increasing the quality and reliability of our berry production through new varieties, cultural practices and a sharing of our knowledge of growing that we have learned from our other regions. We pursue new efficiencies in logistics though advances in container and air shipments, as well.
It is apparent that SunnyRidge Farm’s trademark innovation, flexibility and reliability translate well, for the future of the South American berry looks bright indeed.

Viveros SunnyRidge, based in Melipilla, was established in April 2006 in partnership with managing director Marcela Zuniga.
SunnyRidge Farm’s nursery operation is dedicated to the sale and propagation of berry plants, with a goal of enhancing the quality and production of berries, by introducing new plant varieties optimally adapted to the Chilean soil and climate.
In addition to selling and propagating plant varieties that are traditional to the area, SunnyRidge Farm also owns the proprietary rights to commercialize and propagate the University of Florida varieties in Chile, including those released in 1996, 1998, 2002 and 2005. These varieties are protected and registered with the Agricultural Department of Chile.
