Our farming methods here at Crossroads Blueberry Farm consist of a strict crop protection program. We hire scouts to monitor each field and the pests that may become harmful. The field scouts will place monitoring devices strategically throughout the field and check them periodically. The pests the scouts are looking for consist mainly of spotted wing drosophila, cranberry fruit worm, and blueberry maggot worm. These pests can be extremely detrimental to our crop, both the health of the bush and the blueberry fruit itself. Once a harmful pest has been detected in a field we will apply crop protection. The crop protection we apply is approved by the EPA and ONLY used within the guidelines they provide. We ONLY apply crop protection when absolutely necessary and ONLY apply the minimal effective amount to protect our crop. We appreciate your interest in this matter and are very proud of our farming methods. If you have any further questions please go to the Contact Us page. We pride ourselves on feeding the people of America with fruit that is very beneficial to your health and taking good care of the land we have been blessed to farm. We are also MAEAP verified, which ensures to you that we have taken the necessary steps to assure you that we are an environmentally friendly farm. http://www.maeap.org
