The idea for Blue Sky Farm was first kicked around in 1998, when Russ Betz, owner and proprietor of the present Blue Sky Farm, had an idea for his retirement. He wanted to start a U-Pick Blueberry farm where people could come and pick fresh, natural blueberries. He started making plans and in 2001 planted the first blueberries and Blue Sky Farm was born. Roughly 5 acres of the farm is covered by the two main types of blueberries Russ grows, Patriot and Blue Crop. After much hard work and maintenance, the first crop of blueberries were picked Summer of 2005. A local, favorite source for healthy, good fruit was born and popularity has increased each year.
