In 1929 Rose Biggi started Beaverton Foods in the cellar of her farmhouse. To help endure the Great Depression,
she began grinding her horseradish crop, bottling it, and selling it to local grocery stores. Through her hard work
and perseverance, she not only survived the hard economic times, but also built the foundation for the largest
specialty condiment manufacturer in the United States. Over eighty years and four generations later, Gene, her
son, continues the hard work and perseverance. Beaverton Foods has an international reputation for
manufacturing quality products and the development of innovative condiment flavors. In the past decade,
Gene’s mustard’s have received over one hundred certificates of excellence and awards for quality.
More than all other mustard manufactures combined.
