We are the first farm in the country to cover our entire blueberry and raspberry plantings with a fine mesh netting to exclude a tiny invasive insect that would ruin our crops or require us to spray every 5-7 days. Dale-Ila is the creator of this innovative technique and is teaching growers throughout the country that this technique works while providing pesticide-free berries to you!
If you are a commercial grower that is interested in obtaining netting, please send us an email through the “Contact” tab above.
Thank you for your support this year!
