The crop on these 'Columbus' plants is more than acceptable for my first organic crop!  Can't you just reach through the screen and pick a handful of these?...Delicious!!

The 'Columbus' variety has large berries with light blue color.  The light, powdery coating on blueberries is known as 'bloom' and it serves as the berry's protection from the sun.  It's like the blueberry's natural SPF and it varies with different varieties.

'Columbus' variety has beautiful, long clusters of fruit!

The farm is still a year away from it's 2013 first harvest, but I did allow a few plants to fruit to get an idea of potential pests in an organic culture.  Take a look at the pictures taken today and you'll see a good crop and nice quality berries!  These plants have already been harvested one time before these photos were taken.
