Each year the Northwest Berry Foundation has an end of season party, it’s coming up for us this week, which has me thinking about EOS parties of the past. Historically it would be hosted in Tom and Anna Peerbolt’s backyard where Tom would roll the dice on grilling up some type of meat/fish which was almost always suspiciously undercooked

There has been a lot of replanting/rejuvenation happening in blueberry fields that have faced flooding over the last several years. I know we circulated WA options last winter but there has been a BC program now available which I wanted to highlight.

It’s guaranteed you’ve received a notice of assessment with payment expectations for all the berry crops you grow from the different commissions/councils. Yes, I know, you’re burnt out, still harvesting, and the last thing on your mind is paperwork.

The topic of artificial intelligence (AI) is coming up more and more and we’re not sure what to think about it. AI is one of those buzz phrases that everyone knows but there is plenty of noise around how to accurately use it because it’s hard to really understand the impact.

There is plenty of nutrient sampling going on right now. As a reminder, the ideal soil and leaf nutrient testing window in caneberry is mid August and blueberry is mid to end of August.

I spent one day this weekend hanging out with friends from outside the PNW. Like I do with every outing during the summer, I tote along a half flat of some berry or another because it’s easy and delicious. Clearly I’m taking the bounty of our region for granted because everyone was floored and raving about eating the blueberries I brought.
