You Don't Have to Choose "Cides" With Our Blueberries

The Environmental Working Group has released its 2023 Shoppers Guide to Pesticides in Produce, with its Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen fruits and vegetables most and least likely to be contaminated with pesticides. Some conventionally grown blueberries have made it back onto the list for the first time in a while. We're proud at North Sky Farm to produce "true blues." That is, we don't use any pesticides, insecticides, fungicides -- no "cides" at all. And, unlike some blueberries labeled "organic" in stores that are grown hydroponically, ours are grown in real soil. That's ultimately where health benefits start. Other advantages: when we harvest blueberries, we don't worry about exposure to cides either. It's pretty great to get the health benefits of blueberries from North Sky Farm without having to worry about them being offset by health risks.
