Sustainability in New Brunswick

As the strawberry season draws near to a close, the wild blueberries are starting to ripen as see out in Richibucto-Village on Wednesday at a Blueberry NB field day hosted by Blue Acre Farms. Wild blueberry production is a sector with great growth potential in New Brunswick as we have a lot of land suited to natural wild blueberry populations because of our naturally acidic soils.
Alors que la saison des fraises tire à sa fin, les bleuets sauvages commencent à mûrir comme on peut le voir à Richibucto-Village mercredi lors d’une journée de culture de bleuets organisée par Bleuets NB à Blue Acre Farms. La production de bleuets sauvages est un secteur à fort potentiel de croissance au Nouveau-Brunswick, car nous avons beaucoup de terres adaptées aux populations naturelles de bleuets sauvages en raison de nos sols naturellement acides.

Have you every thought of starting alfalfa with your corn? Jason Wells from NBDAAF has a trial this year testing it out! These plots in the alfalfa with a corn companion crop trail are at Waldow Farms.

Well Hello!
We want to officially introduce ourselves. We are Jaeson and Coady Waygood. We are the new operators of Sunset Upick. We are very excited for the upcoming berry season and the future of Sunset Upick.
A little bit about us. We are both from New Brunswick! We own and operate Waygood Farm a high density apple orchard just above Mactaquac. We are both UNB graduates.
Why are we farming? We both have been looking for more balance in our careers. Farming is amazing. It is multifaceted, involving business, labor, science, marketing and so much more. It’s a way of life we are learning to love. But don’t get me wrong it’s not all rainbows …we are crazy busy.
Strawberries are new to us! We have some big shoes to fill and we are learning a lot this year.
We want the Fredericton community to know that we care about the Ferris street property and the quality of the fruit we grow. We acknowledge how much this space means to the people who live here.
We encourage you to come find us in the berry field. If you have comments, concerns or just want to say hello we would love to meet you.
Lets all hope for good weather and a fruitful harvest season!
