President and Founder of Fall Creek, Dave Brazelton, recounted when Fall Creek sold its first order of plants to the Driessens in the early 1980’s. “What started out as Fall Creek selling plants to Driesvenplant years ago has evolved into a lasting friendship and a collaboration between our companies to serve North and Eastern Europe’s commercial blueberry industry with Fall Creek’s genetics and plants grown by Driesvenplant. This enduring relationship has led to Driesvenplant joining Fall Creek,” explains Brazelton.

All of us at Fall Creek are extremely proud to have the Driessens and the Driesvenplant team’s support and personal involvement as the business, built by the Driessens, continues to grow and flourish under the Fall Creek family of companies.
