Belfast Garden Club Program

Farming the Wild Blueberry with Ron Howard.

The Belfast Garden Club will host blueberry farmer Ron Howard, who will discuss how Brodis Blueberries has evolved since its founding in the 1750s. He will explore how this 9th generation farm evolved from 13 diverse family farmsteads into their current 800 acres of wild blueberries. Not only are wild blueberries one of the world’s most nutritious foods, they are remarkable and unique plants that Brodis has worked to diversify into innovative products. The farm has survived by sustainably modernizing with the times, and Ron will discuss what’s on the horizon for the next
generation.
Ron Howard serves as the farm manager for family-owned wild blueberry farm Brodis Blueberries in Hope, Maine.
