FROST PROTECTING BLUEBERRY FIELD

It got to 29 degrees here last night in the blueberry field with the water running and tonight will be the same. We turned on our frost protection sprinklers at 10PM and they are still running and it is 8:30 AM. COLD! We will be watching for damage to the fruit over the next few weeks. We did pick all the ripe fruit before the freeze and will be at the farmers markets this weekend. Stay tuned for further updates:(
