Their locally Pacific Northwest-sourced fruit offerings included BlackberriesBoysenberries Royal Anne Cherries dark Sweet Cherries Purple Plums Strawberries Gooseberries Loganberries Peaches and whole Apricots. A wide variety of packing options included water pack light syrup heavy syrup and frozen offerings which were packed into 10 oz. metal and paper fibre cans. Oregon Fruit Products was one of the many U.S. Companies to quickly expand their offerings with Abbot Laboratories notorious artificial sweetener Sucaryl Calcium Cyclamate which was marketed towards those dieters and customers with diabetes or other metabolic disorders wishing for sweet-tasting foods. However within 12 years after the “Oretetic†brand products were introduced in 1969 the FDA banned cyclamates due to two 1968 studies tracing links to bladder cancer. Gehlhar 1886-1969 originally purchased 10 acres in the West Side Fruit Farm district of Salem OR in 1910 and began farming and by 1920 was operating 160 acres producing cherries & prunes and later built the Gehlhar prune dryer in 1926. In 1931 he served as the first Oregon State Director of Agriculture and after a 1935 fire destroyed his fruit dryer the cannery remained and he chose to instead focus on canning and marketing canned fruit products for distribution in the Pacific Northwest. Although originally focused on canned fruits and then later frozen products by the late 1980’s and early 1990’s the company began diversifying their product line. In 2011 the Gehlhar family sold the company to Ed Maletis who have now expanded to a new location in Salem OR.
