sustainable path to revitalize its farm. We will mechanize its harvest, institute sustainable farming practices, and process its own berries. The fields will be brought back into full organic production by removing boulders and leveling the fields to allow the use of mechanical harvesting in place of hand raking. Flail mowing will eliminate the environmentally damaging practice of burning the fields to manage weeds and pests. Appropriate irrigation and the addition of environmentally sustainable biochar as a soil amendment will produce more consistent yields in years of minimal rainfall. Assisted pollination will ensure the health and wellbeing of the plants as well as the bee population. The addition of a processing line will allow more options for direct-to-consumer distribution. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6d145fba elementor-align-center elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"6d145fba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInDown&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wildblueberries.me\/wickedwild\/our-services\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">View All Projects<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4b1b110e elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-content-middle elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4b1b110e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6057d7de\" data-id=\"6057d7de\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4737342a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4737342a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">our story <\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6bb97f16 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6bb97f16\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A Maine family business, the Rice family purchased the rocky, and open blueberry fields occupying Lubec, Maine in 1917.
