This morning, my cousins, Walter, Sharon, and Sarah Goss came in to talk to the class about their blueberry and raspberry farm in Maine. Sharon is a middle school math teacher, Walter is an engineer, and they run the berry farm in their "spare" time with the help of their four children.
We learned a lot about how the work of a berry farm is year round: planting, fertilizing, pruning, tying up canes, picking (both by hand and using machinery), and marketing and selling the berries. You can even become a fan of Goss Berry Farm on Facebook!
