It is said, when people put their heads together in a cooperative manner, great ideas are born; such is the birth of Anacapa foods. The principals of two of the fresh-strawberry industry’s premier shippers—Well Pict and Pacific Gold Farms—collaborated on forming a joint venture frozen strawberry company. Their vision was to bring the same high quality standards to the frozen fruit market, as they had with the fresh strawberry market.

Today, nestled in the heart of California strawberry production, Anacapa Foods, LLC is the industry’s best choice for quality frozen fruit. We are showing our commitment to the industry by building the most state-of-the-art processing facility possible by today’s standards. The Anacapa Foods facility is located in Oxnard, California, providing over 30,000 square feet of advanced processing equipment in a “clean room” environment. It includes hands-free restroom facilities, high-pressured hot water to wash and sanitize harvesting crates, and an ORP system to ensure accurate chlorination levels are maintained at all times, and all the equipment is made of stainless steel.

We grow only the best varieties including premium, proprietary varieties, Camarosa, Selva, Aromas as well as certified organic strawberries. We are committed to providing our customers with the highest quality, consistent size, exceptional color and great flavor.
