Blueberryjoefarms was started back in 2008 as an answer to a little girl's need for fresh fruit. We started that year with just a few small plants. In 2009, we expanded to about 100 plants and in 2010 we crossed over 200 plants in the field. What started as a plan to provide fresh fruit for the family has expanded into what will hopefully be a future PYO operation. In 2011, operations expanded int
o local blueberry plant sales. We started out by purchasing bare root blueberry plants in early spring from small family farms in Michigan. We had intended to only sell a few of those first plants, and to increase our field size. But plant sales took off, and we sold nearly all the plants we had.
2012 was an even bigger year for plant sales as we topped 900 plants. We had found an untapped market for blueberry plants in NH. Blueberry Joe drove all over NH meeting and delivering plants at prices that were competitive with the big box stores.
2013 is here and we are finally preparing for expanding our blueberry field again. Spring sales were productive and have helped to raise funds to expand the field. The tiny twigs we planted over 3 years ago are producing well, and production will be increasing for many years to come. There is something special about eating that first sun ripened berry that is nearly the size of a quarter.
