Twin River Berries began as a shared vision between two farmers from opposite ends of the world: Paul Escoe of Oregon and Miguel Leonetti of Argentina. Paul, a former airline pilot, planted his first organic blueberries in Hood River in 2004. Thousands of miles away, Miguel launched his farm in San Pedro, quickly rising as a leader in Argentina’s blueberry industry. Their passion for better berries and stronger farming communities brought them together—and the result was something much bigger than either imagined.
In pursuit of year-round quality, Paul and Miguel formed a partnership that started with seasonal blueberry imports and evolved into a fully integrated operation. By combining Paul’s Northwest roots and Miguel’s Southern Hemisphere expertise, Twin River soon became a trusted source of premium berries for markets across the U.S. and beyond.
In 2014, Paul’s son Ben Escoe joined the business full-time, bringing financial expertise and a lifetime of farming experience. Under Ben’s leadership, the company scaled rapidly—expanding its variety of berries, optimizing logistics, and deepening its commitment to sustainability. Packing facilities were established in both the U.S. and Argentina, and Twin River grew its sourcing network to include Chile, Peru, and Mexico to ensure a consistent, year-round supply.
What began as a two-farm partnership has grown into a global network of growers, packers, and shippers. Today, Twin River Berries is a leading vertically integrated supplier known for exceptional quality, sustainable practices, and long-term relationships. From local fields to global markets, their mission remains rooted in one thing: delivering the best berries, every season.
