Fresh Blueberries intended for resale are our specialty.
Blueberries at Highland Valley Farm are picked at the peak of ripeness and sorted and packed using gentle, clean, modern equipment designed and engineered to handle blueberries. The fruit is pre-cooled as soon as possible following harvest; air cleaned (to protect the "frosty" bloom on the fruit), graded, and packed; and then refrigerated at optimum temperature and humidity to insure top quality and long "shelf-life". Our on-farm processing and cold storage facility is inspected and licensed by the State of Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection. Our policies, procedures, and practices are audited by the USDA to verify Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and Good Handling Practices (GHP).
"Bayfield Blues", our registered brand name, together with the Food Alliance certification seal, draws customer attention to the fact that our product is locally grown in a manner that supports sustainable family farm values. Our standard fresh blueberry pack is a case containing 12 one-pint (twelve ounce) clear "clamshell" tills. Each till bears a UPC coded Highland Valley Farm label. Fresh blueberries packed in 10# bulk boxes, lined or unlined, are also available.
Black Currants for processing, available either as fresh or frozen product, are the most recent fruit offering from Highland Valley Farm. This healthy berry with its unique flavor has long been popular in Europe and is now gaining popularity in the USA. The same technologies we use to harvest blueberries are applied in the harvest and handling of black currants. Although our present production of currants is limited, initial trials have been promising, and we are now expanding our plantings.
Frozen Berries for food service and processing are available seasonally. Your choice of US#1, process (stemless), or process (juice grade) frozen blueberries or currants can be packed to order in lined 10# or 30# bulk boxes. For large orders, preseason reservation is recommended to assure availability. Contact us for pricing.
Refrigerated Transport
With the purchase of a modern produce truck with an insulated and refrigerated box, HIGHLAND VALLEY FARM has forged another critical link enhancing our product "value chain." The addition of this equipment allows us greater control, flexibility, and dependability for the on-time delivery of our quality perishable berry products. We also will be able to serve a larger number of small and middle-sized regional wholesale customers for whom the logistics of refrigerated transport for purchased perishable food products can be challenging.
