 . Due to the extreme heat this year our blueberry picking is now finished. and the Currant season is over as well.
Come October you will be able to pick pumpkins at Fort Hill Farms as part of our Corn Maze Adventure activities.
All of the berries at Fort Hill Farms are raised organically. We don't spray the bushes for bugs or weeds, and it takes a lot of work to have the blueberry patch looking so gorgeous --we're proud of our organic field!
Organically grown food is the most natural form of food. We add compost to the soil, and manage weeds and conditions in ways that allow the blueberries to grow, maximizing their nutritional value. We don't artificially force the blueberries to grow. We make our own compost and add that to oak leaves in the fall (blueberries are the only crop that love oak leaves) and thus invite beneficial organisms to break down the compost into what the blueberry bush needs for the next year's berries. |
