Description

Of the 163 acres, 103 are currently planted with blueberries, including pollinator plants. Recent updates include the removal of 6 acres, which are being replanted with the Calypso variety. This replanting adjoins the 7 acres planted with Calypso in 2022. The Calypso variety is highly regarded for its yield, packability, and flavor, making it a desirable choice for commercial production. The farm is situated on a former peat bog. This soil type, characterized by high organic matter content, benefits blueberry cultivation by providing water retention while providing excellent drainage. The high organic matter reduces the need for fertilizer inputs. Peat soils also contribute to a friable soil structure, supporting root development and oxygen movement into the roots. The dark friable soil absorbs heat during the day and holds heat much longer than the typical sandy loam soils. Located near the Columbia River and Pacific Ocean, the farm experiences a unique microclimate. The river's thermal mass moderates temperature fluctuations. Pacific breezes contribute to this climate, resulting in a harvest that ripens 10 to 14 days later than the Willamette Valley. This later harvest can access potentially higher-priced late-season markets and extend the sales window. The peat soils are naturally acidic, which is ideal for blueberries. This acidity helps the plants absorb essential nutrients from the soil. The farm is offered as a turnkey operation, including essential farm equipment for production. A Littau harvester and an Oxbow harvester are included. Support equipment, such as a sprayer, tractors, and mowers, are also part of the sale. A shop facility is located at the farm's entrance, providing a workspace for equipment maintenance. A combined office and break room is attached to the shop. Location and Access: The farm's location provides access to processors and markets in Portland. Access to Interstate 5 in Longview, Oregon, facilitates transportation. Development Potential: The property includes 37 acres of developable land intended for expanding blueberry cultivation. This acreage is suitable for planting favored varieties, including Calypso, allowing for increased production and potential market diversification. This 163-acre blueberry farm offers a combination of established plantings, a turnkey operational setup with equipment and infrastructure, a strategic location, and development potential specifically for blueberry expansion. It is an opportunity for established growers and those entering the blueberry industry.Show Description
