Oxford Wild Blueberries
ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
About Oxford
WILD BLUEBERRY COUNTRY
Oxford, Nova Scotia is the blueberry capital of Canada and the center of the large Wild Blueberry growing region of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick & Maine.
And because Oxford Frozen Foods is the wholesale supplier to most major Canadian grocery chains, you can enjoy our Wild Blueberries pretty much anywhere by purchasing the store private label, or our own Oxford brand in select locations.
Value
VALUE OF FROZEN
Fresh Wild Blueberries are a seasonal favourite, but because of their short shelf life and the labour needed to pick them, they can be quite expensive. Not so with frozen Wild Blueberries, which are picked in volume and individually frozen at their peak of flavour & freshness to be enjoyed year round at an affordable price.
What is Wild
WILD VS CULTIVATED
Wild Blueberries have grown naturally for thousands of years before science created their cultivated cousins in the twentieth century. Though smaller than cultivated blueberries, Wild Blueberries pack a more intense flavour and twice the anti-oxidants of cultivated.
Year Round Fresh
THE FREEZE PROCESS
At Oxford Frozen Foods, we’ve perfected our Individually-Quick-Frozen method (IQF) that essentially stops time for our Wild Blueberries, so they remain at their peak of flavour & freshness. Best of all, IQF freezing means Wild Blueberries can easily be enjoyed all year-round.

Wild Country
There are few things as natural and good as Wild Blueberries, with more taste and twice the anti-oxidants of their cultivated cousins. Wild Blueberries are harvested but never planted. That’s what wild means!
The Better Blueberry
Which ones are the better blueberries? Why, they’re the little guys that can be found year round fresh in the freezer section with more taste and twice the anti-oxidants than cultivated blueberries. And best of all, they are affordably priced, so you can enjoy them everyday!
Year Round Fresh
During the winter months, the large blueberries found in the fresh produce section are typically imported cultivated blueberries travelling long distances before they reach you. If you’re looking for Wild Blueberries with more flavour and twice the anti-oxidants, look to the freezer section where they are always in season!
