Wholesome food for wellness minded people. Berry Hill Farm began in 2003 with one acre of blueberries. Our focus at that point was to be engaged in a family friendly activity. We soon realized that a great benefit was the interaction with our customers.

Currently we farm two acres of blueberries and one acre of vegetables including three high tunnels for winter production.
