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.
