Marionberries — Wild Frozen (5 lb Bulk Pack)

Our Wild Frozen Marionberries are harvested at peak ripeness to capture the unmistakable flavor the Pacific Northwest is famous for—deep, wine-dark berry richness with a bright, natural acidity that makes this cultivar legendary among chefs and food artisans. Each berry is frozen within hours of picking, locking in its vibrant color, juicy texture, and bold flavor compounds without the use of preservatives or added sugar.
 
Flavor Profile
Marionberries are often described as the most expressive berry in the blackberry family. Expect:
Blackberry-like depth
Bright acidity that cuts cleanly through fat and sweetness
Hints of red wine, plum, and forest berries
A full-bodied, jam-like finish
Their natural flavor intensity stands up beautifully to cooking, baking, and blending—making them a favorite in both sweet and savory applications.
 
Culinary Uses
Marionberries work exceptionally well in:
Smoothies & breakfast bowls
Pies, tarts & pastries
Jams, syrups & coulis
Ice creams, sorbets & gelatos
Reduction sauces for game, pork & duck
Craft beverages, kombuchas & shrubs
 
Because these berries are IQF (individually quick frozen), they pour easily and thaw cleanly without turning mushy. They offer nearly the same integrity as fresh—unlike cheaper blends or imports.

Seasonality
Marionberries have a very short summer harvest window but remain available frozen year-round. Their flavor stability makes them ideal for home cooks, chefs, and specialty food producers who want consistent performance season after season.

To protect the integrity of every berry, all of our frozen products ship in insulated coolers with frozen gel packs and always via overnight service. We never use slow ground transport for frozen items. This ensures your fruit arrives solid, vibrant, and in peak condition — a premium process that adds cost, but delivers the quality our customers expect.
