Summary
Profitable, specialty berry production on small acreage.
Description
This talk will focus on giving attendees a general understanding of how to grow an assortment of berries on a small acreage, with a special focus on pruning and winter maintenance. Pitspone Farm, a small (1/3 acre) suburban farm will be used as an example for much of the practical information, which will cover setting up a suburban farm, growing the plants, markets and pricing. Berries covered will include raspberries, blackberries, aronia, haskap, gooseberry, red currant, elderberry and jostaberry.
Michael Brown has been growing berries commercially in his own backyard since 2006, and now has a thriving business supplying berries, small fruits, and their nursery plants to customers in New Jersey and beyond on just 1/3 acre.
The workshop will be held at Pitspone Farm. Streetside parking is available.
