:: 2010
The winter blanket of snow has been beneficial to the blueberry bushes and blueberry fields (insulating the blueberry bushes and flattening prior year undergrowth). We plan to continue to expand production by planting additional bushes this spring, and by digging an additional irrigation well. We expect the 2010 blueberry picking season to last from June 26th, 2010 through July 18th, 2010.
:: 2009
The Spring weather provided the blueberries with an abundant supply of rain and nutrients. Our first day of picking was Saturday, June 27th, 2009 and the picking lasted until July 12th, 2009. The 2009 season was shorter than usual due to warm temperatures and the lack of rainfall during the latter portion of the blueberry season. In response to a number of requests, we offered a selection of various fruits and vegetables already picked.
:: 2008
During 2008, FarmAtHome expanded its future blueberry production capacity by planting 1,500 additional blueberry plants of various varieties. Our first day of picking was Saturday, June 21, 2008 and picking lasted through July 20, 2008.
