Jasper Wyman & Son

What Jasper Wyman & Son does

Jasper Wyman & Son, operating as Wyman's, is a fourth-generation, family-owned wild blueberry producer and processor founded in 1874 in Milbridge, Maine. The company owns and harvests land in both Maine and the Canadian Maritimes, processing the fruit at its facilities using flash pasteurization for juice and Individual Quick Freezing (IQF) for frozen berries, typically within hours of harvest. Wyman's operates a no-till wild blueberry model that the company positions as inherently lower-impact than cultivated blueberry farming.

The product portfolio spans Wild Blueberry Juice (glass bottles and Tetra Pak cartons), Wild Blueberry Powder, Whole Dried Wild Blueberries, and a broad line of frozen wild blueberry SKUs including single-berry packs, multi-fruit blends, smoothie protein blends, and barista energy blends. The company has extended into adjacent packaged-food categories with Just Fruit snack cups and Oatmeal Poppers, and sells branded merchandise (apparel, posters, drinkware) through its storefront.

Distribution is multi-channel: D2C e-commerce at wymans.com with a subscription program (5% discount, free shipping, contiguous-U.S. fulfillment from Maine for ambient SKUs and Illinois for frozen), national retail grocery distribution (with Hannaford and Wegmans named as partners), and Amazon Marketplace for select SKUs. Customers are primarily health-conscious consumers and families seeking preservative-free, antioxidant-rich wild blueberry formats, with secondary food-service exposure. Pricing is premium-positioned across SKUs (e.g., $149.99 for a 12-count 500ml juice case).
