We use Integrated Pest Management at the farm to respond to pest pressure and minimize pesticide use on our farm. While we are not a certified organic farm we have committed to using only organic sprays on the blueberries that you pick. Feel free to eat our blueberries straight from the bush. We also recommend cooling your blueberries as soon as possible when you get home. Questions? Feel free to ask us via email or in person!
