Images below show our Blueberry Farm:
Every year, we place 120 tons of fresh mulch spread annually at the base of our blueberry bushes. This helps prevent weeds and retains moisture for our plants.
The berries grow at arm level, not low to the ground, and are easy to reach and pick.
An example of our pesticide-free, Certified Organic, gorgeous plump blueberries.
Before opening to the public, we spend eight weeks on our hands and knees tilling, weeding, cultivating, and making sure the plant is able to thrive for the growing season.
Ingalls Blueberry Hill has 20,000 running feet of blueberry plant rows, for a total of about 5,000 individual plants.
Our location was once a cow pasture on the family farm where a herd of guernsey cows grazed.
The gentle slope provides good air drainage which reduces the prevalence of mold on our berries.

Here, the blueberries are weighed. You will take them home in a convenient bag.
This particular berry is over an inch wide.
