Even though I used to be a Blueberry Hill Farm customer, I had very little idea of what to expect for my first summer running the farm as its owner. In the months leading up to the opening day I prepared as best I could, but each day I spent at the farm still managed to be full of surprises (mostly the good kind).
I worked harder this past summer than I think I ever have, but I also can’t think of a time in my life that was more rewarding, full of laughter, and made me so completely happy.
So many exchanges and magical moments occurred alongside the blueberries moving out of the field and into customer hands. Blueberry art was made, homemade granola was shared, gorgeous flower arrangements appeared, frogs repeatedly took up residence in the staff bathroom, I broke the irrigation—twice, I gained a Chief Gopher Officer (CGO), I met previous owners of the farm, and I made a deeply enjoyable connection with every single person who came to visit the farm.
Thank you to everyone who came by the farm this summer to by blueberries! Thank you for your patience, your kind words, your bad jokes, your family recipes, and for sharing your memories of the farm. More than anything, thank you for welcoming me as the new caretaker for this beautiful piece of land and a Crescent City tradition. I feel incredibly lucky and eager to put together an even better Summer of 2026. See you then!
