We visited a blueberry farm that had over 10,000 plants and was placed on a 250 acre+ farm. The owner said he had been doing it for about 40 years. To keep things in perspective, I am just 38. It was amazing to see all of the detail he had put into the entire farm. After talking with him for about 20 min., he started sharing stories about his business, which he prefaced by saying, "Do you have time for a couple of stories?" We laughed, and replied, "Yes, but do you!" Then began to share experiences with customers, his travels, his mistakes, and other random incidents that had occurred to him over the last 40 years and more. It was safe to say that he had become "addictive" to the lifestyle of farming blueberries and any other plant. Not sure I will get to 10,000 plants, but after the visit, and the purchase of 11 plants, I 'm sure I am going in the right direction with Hobby Berries!
