About Us
About Our Business
Bozberry Farms was created in March, 2007, when a larger farm was
divided and 54 acres of property was purchased to establish the new
farm. Acquired with the property were 13,000 high bush blueberry
plants that sit upon 20 or so acres of the land.
Thirty years ago, give or take a few, the bushes were planted upon
the hillside overlooking Rock Run Road in Turtlepoint, Pa.. From the
top of the fields, where a sitting/picnic area can be found, one can
experience a picturesque view of the valley.
Since ownership, Bruce and Brenda Bosworth, along with family and
friends have worked hard at improving access to the blueberry
bushes. Pruning started in the spring of 07 and with the guidance of
specialist from Penn State, three rows or approximately 315 bushes
were trimmed (pic 2) at the base because of the overgrowth. In
picture 3 you can see where the bushes were turned into mulch. In
about 5 years those plants should be ready to harvest again. If you
are in the fields this year, check the new sprouts which are about
knee to waist high now. Picture 4 is taken in July 2007 of the new
growth. It wasn't long before the new sprouts were taking off.
