The Brand Behind Costco's Kirkland Organic Blueberries

Nothing says summer better than tumbling a handful of blueberries into as many dishes as we can. From morning oats to a scoop of vanilla ice cream – garnished with this spice to really make the berry flavor pop — blueberries are as flexible as they are delicious. We can't all live next to bushes laden with them, however, which is why millions of berry lovers buy Costco's frozen Kirkland Signature Organic Blueberries, which are supplied by Oregon's Scenic Fruit Company, according to Moneywise. The company has been in business since 1931 and relies on several partners to help it provide frozen blueberries (which can have more nutrients than the fresh kind), alongside other fruits including raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries, to retailers across the country.

When it comes to Costco's Kirkland Signature Organic Blueberries, we have Lazy D Farms, run by the Nofziger family, who grow seven kinds of the sweet, tart fruits on their nearly 30-acre farm and have been a long-standing partner of the Scenic Fruit Company. As has happened so often before, the latter firm's connection to Costco came to light because of a recall. Per the FDA, this one was initiated in September 2019 due to the risk of "contamination with foreign materials" that affected more than 198,250 pounds of frozen blueberries.

There hasn't been a reported issue specifically with Costco's blueberries since 2019, but it wasn't the only time the Scenic Fruit Company had to withdraw products from the store's shelves. In 2023, it yanked 4-pound bags of Kirkland Signature Frozen Strawberries, sold across six states, out of "an abundance of caution," after a hepatitis A outbreak (per the FDA). Although they weren't sold to any retail outlets, frozen blueberries hit the headlines again in February 2026, when the Oregon Potato Company issued a class I recall — the most serious kind — of 55,689 pounds of the fruit amid the possibility of listeria contamination.

While we can fairly reliably pin down the supplier for Costco's frozen blueberries, it's a trickier picture when it comes to the warehouse store's fresh fruit. According to the company website, non-organic fruit can be sourced from many countries in the Americas, including the United States, Uruguay, Canada, and Argentina. Per Costco, its organic blueberries also come from many of the same countries, but they may originate from as far afield as New Zealand. If you get your blueberry fix via Costco's Kirkland Signature Three Berry Blend (a fruity treat that might be cheaper to grow than to buy) they at least are sourced a lot closer to home. Moneywise also confirmed that Pacific Northwest-based Townsend Farms is the supplier for that popular product.
