Owens' Blueberries

Maynard Owens

The Late Maynard H. Owens, developer of Owens' Blueberries.
11/15/1928 - 9/8/00

History

Started in the mid 1980's by Maynard Owens and wife Peggy as an after retirement project and commercial production began in the early 90's. As time went by additional bushes and varieties were added until approximately 2 acres of bushes were planted.

Today we have about 13 varieties planted with 1 1/2 acres in production. These varieties are a combination of both the Highbush and Rabbit Eye types. The different varieties have different harvesting dates so production is spread out from the end of May until the last of July or first of August.
