Dear BLUEBERRY friends and customers! We have exciting news to share with you.
Our Canter-Berry Farms that we, Doug and Clarissa have loved for our last 50 years has been sold. Clarissa's folks originally purchased the farm in 1954 from the grandson of the first settler on the farm. Clarissa and Doug took over the farm in 1975 after finishing college and marrying.
We had the official handing over of the keys this last week to the new owners. The new owners are a non-profit organization named Wakulima, USA. Their vision of the farm is to continue the legacy we have built at the farm and don't worry they will be including a U-pick BLUEBERRY π« π« π« season along with more expansion of the farming aspects on the farmland as time goes forward. They have already done a beautiful job of pruning the blueberry field.
We hope you embrace them as you have embraced us for the last 50 years. We have moved to the Port Townsend area where we plan to sail off into the many beautiful sunsets the Salish sea has to offer.
A berry fond farewell to you all as we retire from farming. π«π«π« Clarissa and Doug
