In the latest episode of our specialty crop series with the Wisconsin Agricultural Tourism Association, we visit Blue Ridge Growers in Troy, Wisconsin. Since u-pick blueberries opened July 4, people have been flocking to the farm to pick from over 800 bushes representing six unique varieties of berries. Jill Berke has been hosting people on the farm for decades. This year, she says the crop is coming along great, as is demand from consumers to visit a farm. 

Blue Ridge Growers is one of the farms on the upcoming Apple River Farm Tour on July 12. For details, visit: https://appleriverfarmtour.com/

The blueberry harvest is expected to continue through mid-August. The Wisconsin Agricultural Tourism Association is a great resource for you to find a blueberry grower near you and to stay up to date on events happening in your area, like the Apple River Farm Tour on July 12. 

Jill Berke says that through the Wisconsin Agricultural Tourism Association, you can find a network of specialty crop farmers to help you start or expand your own farm venture.
