Special events at the farm will be planned in the future as a way to build our image and to share something with our customer base. Educational tours are also on our agenda. The best way to preserve the future of farming is to promote awareness and educate the public about farming. This past summer, we were invited to provide an exhibit about wild blueberries at the Curran Homestead in Orrington for Open Farm Day (July 27, 2003). Gail is pictured above (in the hat) serving up samples of farm fresh wild blueberries and talking about their nutritional value and how they grow. We look forward to holding our own Open Farm Day in 2004.
We operated a U-Pick area which provided an opportunity for the public to experience the wild blueberry in its natural environment for themselves. Some folks, like Linda Parent of Hermon (far right in photo above), visited our U-Pick area several times. Linda is pictured here with her Mom. Lucille, (left) visiting from NH, and her sister, Denise Comeau, (middle) of Bangor.
WVII, Channel 7 (ABC) TV in Bangor captured us for a news story about our U-Pick operation on August 21, 2003. Reporter Molly Kelleher and cameraman, Brent, pose briefly for our camera after capturing us on theirs.
Glenice (Gray) Bernot, the former and third generation owner of Peaked Mountain Farm, was on hand with great granddaughter, Ashley Adams, for the opening of our farm stand. Ashley helped hand pick some of the first blueberries to be sold.
Little Aaric Adams, Jr. (the newest member of the family) noted during a visit from Derry, NH that he’s got milk and he’s got fresh blueberries, so he’s good to grow!
Chef Dave Smith, of the Muddy Rudder restaurant in Brewer, poses with his wife, Fonda, a prep cook and baker of the fine blueberry cake they serve. The winning combination of an old recipe and Peaked Mountain Farm’s fresh wild blueberries made it a favorite treat at the Muddy Rudder all summer long.
We hope to establish many more working relationships with restaurants and inns in our local area.
Brothers Matt and John Adams (sixth generation members of the Frank J. Gray family) take a “rake break” with neighbor and fellow raker during the heat of the harvest.
We’re Planning Ahead, You Can, Too
We want to make things easier for our customers to have their blueberry orders when they need them. It’s not too early to set up scheduled orders from our 2004 wild blueberry crop harvest.
