Job Description

About Us

Willamette Valley Pie Company can be described as a 25-year-old startup! All the fun of an entrepreneurial startup with the stability of an established, family-owned company based in the heart of the Willamette Valley of Oregon. In 1998 our founder Gerald Frost started freezing berries that had been grown on his multi-generational family farm. Shortly thereafter, Willamette Valley Pie Company was formed. We quickly expanded from fruit processing to pie manufacturing and now produce a full line of premium, scratch-made, all-natural desserts. WVPC is rapidly expanding nationwide as a premium private-label and branded pie/dessert manufacturer.
