We refrain from tilling between rows, employ flotation tires on field and harvesting equipment to prevent soil compaction, apply fertilizers as needed with careful monitoring of nitrogen inputs, incorporate organic soil amendments, and recycle organic waste within the fields (i.e., leaves, cover crop and prunings) as mulch.These measures not only enhance soil stability but also contribute to canopy cooling, carbon sequestration, and optimal soil moisture retention.

​​​​Northern highbush blueberries are a crop that flourishes with sustainable production practices. As a long-lived perennial, their roots play a crucial role in stabilizing soil organic matter, maintaining soil structure, and preventing erosion. Blueberry plants typically become productive after 3 years, with the plant remaining viable for 25 years or more.

Established blueberry plants are effective at sequestering atmospheric carbon and storing it in their biomass and surrounding soil. This process aids in capturing carbon emissions generated during harvest and production, thereby actively mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.

Our team helps protect and enhance wild pollinators across all growing regions by collaborating in pollinator research, implementing science-based IPM programs and enhancing habitat.

Certified Fair Trade USA for over five years and Gold-rated by the Farm Sustainability Assessment, we’re proud to meet some of the highest standards in the industry. We’re also part of a pilot project working toward Certified Regenerative status and are building a growing body of scientific data to better understand and reduce our carbon impact.
