On the Farm
Welcome to the Berger International “On the farm” page. Nestled in the picturesque Willamette Valley amidst the vibrant greenery, we cultivate a rich tapestry of products which many consider to be the best in the world. From crafting the world’s finest grass seed to embracing the down-to-earth farm vibe, we’re all about blending tradition with innovation, ensuring our customers receive only the best that nature has to offer.
Picture this: rolling hills, vibrant photos (some of them below are from the family’s own collection of historic photos), and the hum of our trusty equipment, our farms are buzzing with life. On this page, you can check out our photo gallery to see a little bit of what life, both past and present, is like on the farm.
