It’s happening! Earliest pick ever for our farm, we will begin harvest next week. Good thing, too, cause our farm interns don’t arrive till the weekend – kids gotta get through graduation! We’re very excited to have 2 returning interns this season (second time this has happened!) We’ll keep you posted on progress, and when and where you can find our blueberries. Don’t forget, we’re certified organic (since the beginning 24 years ago)! Can’t wait to see everyone at the markets!

As if you needed another reason to eat more blueberries!

Check out this study! We don’t really need reasons to eat great blueberries, but here’s a bonus. We’re in the quiet, cold season on the farm, but hopefully you have some bluebs stashed in the freezer.

Last chance for bluebitol!! (new word)

This weekend will be the last chance to grab some Sierra Cascade Blueberries! We’re wrapping up the 2012 season, and will be at SF Ferry Plaza, Berkeley Saturday, Chico Saturday, Marin Civic Center Sunday and Lafayette Sunday farmers markets. Get some for your freezer for later – all the healthy goodies are still there once you freeze these gems! Thanks so much for making this a fantastic blueberry season for us! See you Saturday & Sunday!!!

ps – bluebitol is John’s new tag word for blueberry goodness!

We started harvest last week, and the fruit looks fantastic! After a successful weekend of Farmers Markets under our belts and the start-up kinks working out, we are well into the 2012 harvest season!

Harvest is right around the corner!

We’re just a few short weeks away from the 2012 Harvest! The crop looks great, the weather is cooperating, and we’ve got our new interns starting to get a taste of life on a blueberry farm – it’s going to be a great season! After a recent trip to Eugene, Oregon (blueberry country!), and a stroll around their beautiful Farmers Market, we are getting excited to get started. Keep posted for updates!

We’re Hiring for Summer Harvest Positions

admin — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 21:16:32 +0000

We are looking for energetic interns to work on our farm and at farmer’s markets during the 2012 harvest season (May-August). Do you have an interest in working on an established certified organic farm, in a beautiful part of California surrounded by miles of forests? The season is short, the hours are long, the days are hot, but the nearby crystal clear creeks help wash the dust off, and housing can be provided. We are currently taking applications (resume + letter of interest) for paid internships for the 2012 season; these positions involve managing the harvest crew, oversight of packing crew, quality control and logistics. Contact us for more information.

The whirlwind known as Blueberry Harvest is done!

Wow! This past week flew by so quickly. We just wrapped up our last weekend selling blueberries at our favorite farmers markets. Starting the season so late in the year as we did, we weren’t sure what kind of crop we would end up with, but that unseasonably cool spring carried into an unseasonably cool summer, and we saw a fairly normal (for us) harvest, albeit late.

Now it’s time to tidy up, bring some neglected landscaping back to life, and catch up on some much needed rest! Thank you to everyone who helped us get through the season, to all the wonderful folks out there who buy our blueberries. We are mindful of your support, and we are grateful.
