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.
