2012 season. Thanks to the irrigation, the berries were loaded, even through the drought.

The bushes are growing big and tall.

Spring in the Blueberry Patch

A great blueberry starts in the spring, when the plants come into bloom. The plants make flowers, and these flowers must be pollinated in order to make berries. To make this process more efficient, we bring in beehives while the plants are in full bloom to supplement the natural pollinators.

The beehives were buzzing with activity.

Honeybees are fascinating

creatures.

Dodge Farms, LLC. Blueberries

From approximately May to Mid-July (depending on the growing conditions) our blueberry plants go from flowering, to having small hard green berries on them, to purple berries, to brilliant colored blueberries. Through this time the plants are exerting a lot of energy, so in dry years we have to irrigate them. A lot of maintenance and planning goes into making a delicious blueberry!

You can usually find our fresh, pre packaged blueberries at the Cheese Festival in Adams, NY in early July. In order to place an order, you can contact us on Facebook, or by calling Kristen Dodge at 315-523-0761
