Using the loader on the tractor to scoop mulch and drop it into 3 wheelbarrows. Walking the wheelbarrows down the rows and carefully spread the mulch between the bushes.
This is not what we were expecting on opening day… hail is not nice to blueberries! Depending on the hail damage, we may need to close for a few days.
Thank you so much for an incredible season! It was so nice to see familiar faces and a lot of new ones out in the field! We're looking forward to next summer.
September 05, 2023Picture from this weekend of the buds on the blueberry bushes! Thankfully they are nice and tight so the bushes were not effected by this CRAZY Michigan weather.
We have SO MANY blueberries and only 2 weeks left in our season!! Picking is great but you should never wait until the last few weeks to pick, if you do it sooner.
It's incredible out here! The bushes are full of fall colors. The cool nights allow for this beautiful transformation to take place. This makes the field a sight to see.
October 09, 2022Last week, when it was really cold, we unfortunately lost at least 1/4 of our blueberry crop. In the pictures you can see the damaged berries that look shriveled and brown.
What a great year for our raspberries, we have had a issues in the early part of the season with the frost damage but fortunately the raspberries came on strong.
What a beautiful sunrise this morning in the field! Snow covered blueberry bushes with a picture perfect sunrise for a backdrop. Nothing like a northern Michigan morning.
WOW today the parking lot was officially full. We had to put out a friendly reminder "please bring your own buckets" because ours are all being used (over 100 buckets)!!!
The fan favorite... NELSONS!!! They are producing a lot of blueberries and they are delicious. We anticipate our season being over within two weeks, what a great year!
Our Now that we are closed for the season and the temps are falling. Winter is right around the corner glad Our fields are ready for winter . Nothing like a crisp, fall day.

June 12, 2019Would you look at that! The blossoms are coming out and we are exciting to get another blueberry season underway! Just a few more weeks and we will be seeing the little green berries!
We picked up the blueberry plants today! We already called and messaged those that have pre-ordered plants but there are plenty of plants to go around!
Fun fact: Each of those little buds will eventually turn into approximately 10 blueberries! There will be a lot of berries!
May 24, 2019The work never stops on the farm. What a beautiful day to start pruning!
I took this picture this morning around 7:15am and thought it was really cool. What do you think?

August 13, 2018Picking is great with these huge blueberries.
July 31, 2017Getting bigger every week, these blueberries will be great this year.
The bees are a very important part of the fields success, without them no berries!
To help the plants during the summer we put mulch around the base of the plants.
Come visit us at the local Cadillac Farmers Market during the picking season.
In 1 1/2 hours we were able to pick 10 full buckets for the Cadillac Farmers Market.
We are mulching the entire field this summer!!! It's hard work but it looks and smells incredible afterwards; plus blueberries love mulch!
Sparrow Eggs found in a Nelson bush!
We had a very good first day of U-Pick! Thank you for everyone that came out!
You never know what you will find in the field.
It looks like we will have a good crop of Raspberries next year! They are huge and very sweet!
Meanwhile in the blueberry farm; we are getting ready for the snow and putting up a new fence around the perimeter.
