Farm Journal ~ June

As you can see in this photograph there are no blueberries visible on the plants as we enter the month of June and there should be. We have had a complete crop loss due to harsh winter conditions. While these conditions were not extreme, the combination of low temperatures, infrequent rain or snow fall, and frequent heavy winds, have damaged the fruit buds, which were set in the fall. Research confirms this phenomena.
This is very disappointing to us as it must be to our many patrons. But all is not lost. The plants are still alive and they are hardy and well-established. We hope for another season in 2026 as we make the slow transition to full retirement of the farm and its conversion to conservation land.
