WVII covers UMaine Extension wild blueberry conference
WVII (Channel 7) covered the University of Maine Cooperative Extension’s wild blueberry conference Feb. 28 at the Black Bear Inn in Orono. More than 40 farmers from all over the state attended to discuss best practices for growing, harvesting and selling wild blueberries, according to the report. “Farmers by nature are doers, creative people, and to find out what other people are doing to face the challenges — same challenges you may face on your farm — is incredibly valuable because some of those lessons they’ve learned might be applicable on our farm as well,” said Bruce Hall, a farmer for Jasper Wyman & Son Co. who attended the conference.
