There's no doubt about it, Richter Farms grows the best tasting red raspberry in the country, which is why Metropolitan Market is proud to be a local retailer sharing these beautiful berries with you.

Richter Farms is located in Fife, Washington, in the Puyallup Valley; one of the best places in the world to grow raspberries with the right climate and the soil.

The Tulameen raspberry is considered the leading variety for fresh eating. In addition to raspberries (red and gold), Richter Farms grows several varieties of blackberries, nectarberries (a boysenberry that is Richter's personal favorite), tayberries (a raspberry-blackberry cross), gooseberries, currants (red, black and white) and, in the winter, hothouse rhubarb. Red raspberries account for about 60 percent of Richter's sales volume.

The hand-picking and hand-selecting of Richter's berries gives them a consistent quality customers have come to expect. Metropolitan Market carries almost everything Richter grows, including the more exotic berries.
