Sunshine Valley Berry Farm

Sunshine Valley Berry Farm in Rochester, VT came to the Vermont Farm Fund when they needed to purchase a tractor that could run specialized attachments and a mulch spreader.

Rob Meadows and Patricia Rydle raise 7 acres of blueberries and raspberries focused on PYO. They have owned and run the farm since 2007. Established as Blair’s Berry Farm in 1998 by Ron & Leslie Blair, only organic practices and products have been used since the farm’s founding. In addition to PYO fresh berries they also sell honey, frozen berries and a variety of berry-based jams.
