I've been to Bob's Blueberries & spoken at length with the farmers regarding their farming and pesticide usage. The farm uses NO roundups or conventional pesticides - and regarding to the previous posting, PARAQUAT, is a contact herbicide which is used to help many farms with their weeding practices. This is a very common herbicide - and as a CONTACT herbicide, it does not spread through the plant. It is sprayed on surrounding areas near their fruits, BUT DOES NOT SPREAD through the plants, like a systemic herbicide. I have some strict dietary restrictions, so need to be very careful about what I eat - and was comforted after doing some extensive research.
I understand Bob and Nina's plight - it is VERY EXPENSIVE for a small, local farm to certify themselves as "organic" when they produce the same quality, NON GMO fruit "without the fancy label" to their local communities.
I LOVE this blueberry(and raspberry and peach!) farm and love being able to TALK to my farmers and produce!
