About us
BLUEBERRY BAY is a new farm founded in 2021. It has been growing high-quality blueberries in a 20-hectare area since then.
The location of our plantation allows the berry to be charged with all the best of the Roztochchia Reserve's nature and the coastal waters of the Vereshchytsia River.
To have the best offers for buyers of this delicious and nutritious berry, we planted 6 varieties (Duke, Bluegold, Bluecrop, Chandler, Darrow, Elliott) that are best suited to our terroir and can provide a supply system from early to late season.
BLUEBERRY BAY uses state-of-the-art equipment and protection systems to optimise growing processes, such as irrigation systems, tillage and plant growth control.
BLUEBERRY BAY adheres to high product quality and safety standards, providing consumers with the finest berries.
We are active in the spheres of social responsibility. We promote the development of social well-being and the preservation of the environment. We pay special attention to the careful use of local resources.

Thriving Bushes, Naturally Enriched
The place is ideal for blueberries, which thrive in acidic, light soil enriched with organic matter. To ensure abundant and prolonged fruiting of the bushes, we enriched the soil with organic substances. We added riding peat, sawdust from coniferous trees, and pine bark, which blueberries love best!
Additionally, the area has no industrial enterprises,
and the nearest major highway is 30 km from the plantation.

Growing high-quality berries for you
Bushes are planted on high ridges and mulched with film, and pine bark is sprinkled in areas near the trunk. Mulch reduces weed growth and water loss, regulates soil temperature, and provides plants with organic substances.
Growing high-quality berries is impossible without a plantation protection system. The field is constantly monitored to detect and prevent diseases and pests. We use the "integrated growing system" - a technological scheme based on chemical means of plant protection, with additional biological preparations.
Water is one of the most critical factors in growing blueberries. The plant uses the most water during the period from berry setting to harvest. Moisture deficit during this period significantly reduces the current year's harvest and inhibits the laying of fruit buds for the following year. Drip irrigation is installed in our field, which has several advantages: it allows for more uniform watering and economical use of water and water-soluble fertilisers. Under the supervision of an agronomist, the responsible specialist carries out watering and feeding according to the developed scheme under previously carried out soil analyses and leaf analyses. Our field receives water from an ecologically favourable zone, the Vereshchytsia River, which gives us a great advantage.
A good harvest and high-quality berries largely depend on pruning. We approach the pruning of bushes with maximum consideration because, in this way, we form a harvest for the current season and the following ones. Before pruning, we carefully evaluate the blueberry bush, considering the specifics of the variety. We analyse the density of the bush, how much annual growth it has, whether there are many yearly growths on it, what their quality is, and which of the old branches gave good growth. First, we remove broken and diseased shoots and cut out shoots strongly inclined to the ground and towards the row spacing. If the inclined shoots are left, they will bend to the ground under the weight of the berries, the berries will touch the soil and be dirty, and after harvesting, they will not be stored well.

There are many varieties of blueberrie
There are many varieties of blueberries, and their characteristics include ripening time, taste, transportability, berry size, etc. To have the best offers for buyers of this berry, we decided to establish a plantation with varieties that are best suited to the given terroir and provide a supply system from early to late season. Duke is the best early variety; it is reliable, crisp and juicy! Bluegold is a mid-early, high-yielding, sour variety that can hang on the bushes long and be considered medium if necessary. Bluecrop is a reliable, high-yielding, somewhat sweet and aromatic variety that closely resembles lowbush blueberries in taste. Chandler is a mid-late variety that ripens at the end of summer; the berries are huge, sometimes even gigantic, up to (2.5 cm) wide and up to 3 g in weight. Darrow is a variety that has proven itself well, mainly due to its ability to produce a good harvest, one of the largest with a slightly tart taste of mid-late ripening fruits. Ideal for freezing and baking. Elliott is a late variety of blueberry; the berries ripen at the end of August, and the last harvest in our conditions occurs in mid-September. They can be tart, but the taste changes to pure delight when their fruits ripen in the cool of autumn. Elliott has one of the highest levels of antioxidants of any variety. It is also high in fibre, vitamins C and K, manganese and potassium.
