About Berry Hill Farm
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. While it is essential in any business to make enough profit to pay the bills and provide a living wage for those involved, we have found great fulfillment in bringing good food to people who appreciate it. Currently we farm two acres of blueberries and one acre of vegetables including three high tunnels for winter production.

About this Event:
Located in Northside Neighborhood, this suburban site offers an example of how a lawn can be transformed into a landscape that offers organic home food production, more sustainable landscape management, and incorporation of indigenous plantings to improve the local ecosystem. While we cannot produce all of our own foods, we can - and do - strengthen the food security in our home by growing as much as we can on site. Our home food costs can also be greatly reduced when we are able to grow hundreds, to thousands, of pounds of high quality foods in our home gardens for our family. Additionally, the methods used offer habitat for native species, pollinators, and other wildlife. Win/win/win for home gardening!

About Plant Happiness:
