Commercial Growers Catalog 2009

We grow a great crop! Blueberries continue to have a “Health Halo” attached to them. Blueberries are in demand by our customers because of all the great press on the health benefits. Our customers are willing to pay a fair price for blueberries at the local farms and farm markets. Last summer we experienced increased demand for blueberries in our U-Pick and Farm Market.

Buying locally and supporting the local farmers has now become the number one issue for many consumers. They are concerned about the “carbon footprint” of the food they buy. Local farmers are trusted and an important part of any community.

All of these things fit in great with our operations and we should continue to have success with growing blueberries. We need to capitalize on the advantages that we have.

In these difficult economic times we all have to look at our operations and evaluate our expenses and incomes. We all need to be low cost producers with very good yields to survive these times.

There are many new varieties of blueberries that are now available, and they have excellent yields and quality of fruit. This is exactly what your customers want.

So give us a call, or drop us a line if you are interested in starting or expanding your operation. We have the knowledge and 50 years of expertise to assist you in your selections.

Sincerely,
Mike DeGrandchamp
