2015 BLUEBERRY HARVEST! We are getting "berry" excited about the upcoming U-Pick/We-Pick season here at Behm Blueberry Farms, Inc. I just received the word that the official start date will be MONDAY, JULY 27th! Can't you just feel the EXCITEMENT? When you come to the farm this year be sure to say Hello to our newest team member JASON STEELE. Jason is an amazing talented man and we are so blessed to have him on the farm working with us and also as our friend. In addition to working on a blueberry farm Jason and his family own and operate STEELE FAMILY FARM where they raise chickens that produce GMO FREE eggs and also GMO FREE meat birds. If you are interested we will have them this season at the farm for purchase along with our traditional blueberry cookies and muffins. We look forward to seeing many of you SOON!

Just wanted to check in one more time to thank everyone for coming out to the farm this past season. We have been pruning the past couple of weeks and this huge task is in the final stages which is a blessing. The buds for next year look amazing and we are going to be applying the final fall fertilizer on this next week. We hope this quick update finds you all well and we will look forward to seeing you all in 2015.

2014 HARVEST!

And the countdown begins! For those of you who do not follow us on Facebook our U-Pick/We-Pick is scheduled to open, Thursday, July 24th at 9;00 A.M. We are very excited to see all of our friends and family out in the fields picking and enjoying our FAVORITE fruit. Pricing will be the same as last year which is 5#'s are $12.00, 10#'s are $22.00 and U-Pick is $11.00 per bucket which is about $1.50 a pound. We will once again sell the empty 5# boxes at the U-pick for .50 a box if you would like youR berries put into one. Returning again this year will be our beautiful Lindsay, our wonderful and delicious blueberry muffins and cookies and a new addition will be Lindsay's brother Blake. It's beginning to look a lot like harvest around Behm Blueberry Farm's. SEE YOU SOON!

THANKFUL!

We have much to be thankful for at Behm Blueberry Farms, Inc. First for the wonderful rains that God has provided during this growing season, it is such a blessing not to have to turn on the irrigation, plus nothing makes those blueberries big and sweet like RAIN! The next is to be able to celebrate with the Blueberry Queen on her 94th birthday, Happy Birthday to a wonderful women. Lastly our family who help when needed (like figuring out blogger for dear old mom), thanks Steve and make calls of encouragement when we are busy and tired just to check in. It will be a few weeks before the berries are ripe but we will keep you posted. In the mean time start making room in your freezers for the 2014 Crop!

Spring 2014

Well we do not have to tell all of you that much like our extreme winter we have had a very unique spring at Behm Blueberry Farm. It really began last October when our long time employee and dear friend Ramon decided it was time to return to Mexico. This was a very sad day for, us we really enjoyed working with Ramon and having him as a part of our family for over 10 years, however we knew this day would come and so we truly wish him the very best and hope to see him again someday. So that brings us to NOW. One of our part time guys has stepped up to replace Ramon and his name is Bryan. It helps that he is our cousin so we all get along just great and of course he is a really hard worker. We appreciate all he has been doing for us and we look forward to all of you meeting him this season. The question we are asked the most this year is how are the bushes and berries doing? For all that they went through this past winter they really do look pretty good. Parts of the farm look amazing and some parts are showing the effects of our harsh winter. The good news we have GREEN BERRIES which are sizing well and in the next 4-5 weeks will be turning blue! We will keep you updated to their progress, if you follow us on Facebook we try to post a weekly picture usually on Tuesdays since that is the day that I am on the farm and if you have not yet "liked" us on Facebook we encourage you to do so. We look forward to seeing all of you in the weeks to come. Thank you all for supporting our farm.

THANK YOU!

Well they say better late then never. We want to thank everyone who came out to the farm this summer to either U-Pick or to buy already picked blueberries. We so enjoyed seeing all of you and hope you had a great experience while visiting the farm. We have already begun working on the 2014 crop by chopping the grass in the rows and applying a fall fertilizer to help keep the bushes healthy through the winter and spring. Please keep checking the blog for updates though out the winter we will be posting some great recipes for you to try. Have a great fall.
