FarmVoice / Blueberry Industry

Join us as we connect with blueberry farmers across New Jersey and explore the bounty of the Garden State! New Jersey is an ideal place for growing blueberries--commonly grown where there is naturally low pH and sandy soil. They are also chock full of nutrients, such as Vitamin C, antioxidants, polyphenols, and anthocyanins. We visited with Frank Donio Inc., Variety Farms Inc., Haines Berry Farm, and Consalo Family Farms, who speak of both the beauties and challenges of being blueberry producers. Many of these farms have been owned by the same family for many generations, and when they speak about their work, it includes the generations of family members who paved the way before them. 

Our work with blueberry farmers in Hammonton & Pemberton was an eye-opening experience. The beauty and bounty of what our farmers produce is oftentimes missed by our consumers.  The story we created gives the viewer a small taste of this incredible area of the Garden State.  And, we hope it will inspire consumers to value, appreciate, and buy NJ blueberries.
