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 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 row or approximately 315 bushes were trimmed (pic 2) at the base because of the severe overgrowth, In picture 3 you can see where the bushes are turned into mulch. Since that first spring, each year another 3 rows of blueberries are pruned tot the base allowing for healthy new growth. Berries are now being harvested from the new bushes that were trimmed to the base in 2007.
