Winter work
Winter is a busy time around the farm. Any sunny day is an opportunity to get out and work. Or current task is to mulch the fields. WE put 2 to 4 inches of mulch across the whole field to help prevent mummy berry and to retain moisture in the summer.
In the News
The Washington State University’s Clallam County Extension gleaning program harvested a lot of fruit this year and Blueberry Haven farm was one of the locations they harvested from.

Settling in for Winter
The bushes are beautiful and the sawdust is piled up for mulching. Fall brings some quiet time for harvesting from our garden and apple trees. Soon we will be busy with the pruning and mulching.
