Rent Your Very Own Blueberry Bush for Summer 2011!

Owner Joe Corrado says that Moss Funnel Farms is making a long-term commitment to running a "green" blueberry business.

"We want to be sustainable growers," Corrado said. "We are moving towards sustainable production methods and, over time, getting as close to organic production as possible."

"This all means we will be not be using any chemicals for fertilizing and pest control, while increasing use of natural fertilizer and crop management," said Corrado. "We're lucky because we have strong healthy, 50-year old mostly Jersey blueberries and we are doing things like natural weed control – pulling them out by hand – rather than applying chemicals."

(Joe's take on how Moss Funnel is "Going Organic" is continued on our blog).

We have a few varieties of bushes on the farm, but our prized bushes are the Jerseys. Most likely you'll never find fresh Jersey blueberries at your local food store. They don't provide the high yields growers or pickers demand. Too bad, because Jersey blues are unquestionably the best tasting blueberries available.

Joe's Green Leaf Guarantee represents our promise to provide you with the freshest, environmentally sustainable and delicious Jersey blueberries available. If you don't agree, return them for full refund.

For $35, we will send you or your designee a beautiful ownership certificate with your name (or any name you specify) documenting seasonal ownership of a 50-year old high bush blueberry plant from Joe's Blues.
All berries starting in 2011 are non-certified organic (no pesticides, no chemical fertilizers). A Great Holiday or Birthday Gift! Each certificate is numbered to correspond to a specific plant at our Bangor, Michigan farm. Owners are guaranteed at least 12 pounds of blueberries during the coming season.

2011 – the picking came late, it rained a lot, it was hot and the bugs were occasionally ferocious. But boy, the berries were delicious. Get a look at it all on video at "Bluberry Summer".
