Although the farmhouse dates to 1812, the current incarnation of the land owes its form and spirit to the vision of the former owner, who was entranced by the black currants, native highbush blueberries, ponds, wetlands and woods. As she established a working berry farm - expanding existing crops and adding new ones - she managed the fields and forest with the intertwined goals of cultivating fruit, fostering biodiversity and ensuring conservation - with particular emphasis on providing habitat for native birds and pollinating insects. Today, Bug Hill Farm consists of three acres of cultivated berries, including: raspberries, blueberries, elderberry, aronia, gooseberry, and currants, and 38 acres of forest, including ten acres of early successional woodland replete with wild blueberries, birds, butterflies, bumblebees and a host of beneficial bugs. In our on-site commercial kitchen we craft and bottle our nutritious and delicious products using our berry crops, other local berries, and raw honey or organic sugar - with NO added water or preservatives. We sell our products at our own farm shop, local farmers' markets, groceries and specialty food shops, and on-line at bughillfarm.org
