My family has owned a blueberry farm over one hundred years.
It has been passed down from one generation to the next and each family member has taken great care of the farm. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to make sure that a corporate company does swipe up the farmland from underneath us and not to mention that the blueberries themselves need a lot of attention. They need to constantly be watered and taken care of in order to insure that we have a good season and a great crop. It is hard to keep workers motivated while they are working in over one hundred degree temperatures. The only thing that you can do is insure that they have a properly working HVAC system when it comes time for their break. We have a work trailer out on the farm that has a high tech HVAC system so that the workers don’t get overheated. They know that they can come inside the trailer at anytime and take a break from the hot sun. I think they work so hard so they can spend a little bit of extra time in the trailer with the air conditioner on blast. Even though this can get a little bit expensive to run the air conditioner so much it is worth it to know that our employees are happy. The worst thing would be to have unhappy workers out on the farm everyday. They would not take care of our crops and then we would be out of luck for a good blueberry season!
