Nestled between the mountains of the Fraser Valley in the center of the agricultural hub of Abbotsford, British Columbia, Pacific Coast Fruit Products was originally built as a frozen berry plant but has since evolved into a highly productive manufacturer of fruit juice concentrate, Not From Concentrate (NFC) juices, purees, and puree concentrates for the food, beverage, and nutraceutical industries. Through teamwork and innovation, we process millions of pounds of berries from the Fraser Valley and around the world. Pacific Coast Fruit not only produces quality ingredients, but we also contribute to the local food economy while helping to establish food security, both at home and abroad. Pacific Coast Fruit Products is one of the Fraser Valley’s “secret success stories”, and we are looking to grow and take on new team members.
