About Us
Springwater Berry Farm is a specialized blueberry farm in West Glover, Vermont. Currently, they have about 5 acres in production with a wide variety of cultivars. They provide blueberries wholesale - fresh or frozen - and are open seasonally for pick-your-own.
Practices
Springwater Berry Farm chooses perennial crops and plants on contour line swales to capture water and slow extreme flood events. They choose slow-release organic soil amendments at planting, which has sustained the crop for decades without additional fertilizer to run off, thus reducing the eutrophication of water systems. Wildlife, especially the local birds, have access to the plants, helping to sustain the songbird populations. Their traditional practices encourage a healthy population of all endemic pollinators to call the humble farm home.
