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.
