The DiMeo farming family owns and operates several of the largest blueberry farms in the world, in the “blueberry capital of the world” Hammonton, New Jersey.
Check out the new site I helped them launch at Dimeoblueberryfarms.com. I also profiled them over on MartinKelley.com.
It is still too early to harvest berries, but DiMeo Blueberry Farms has been selling grow-your-own blueberry, raspberry, aronia black chokeberry and teaberry plants. Owner Anthony DiMeo III said the fourth-generation Hammonton farm opened for the season in April, and he has seen a lot of traffic from people who are interested in these high antioxidant fruits, as well as purchasing honey and antique fruit and vegetable crates. “It’s been very busy. People are buying locally, which is great,” DiMeo said. “It’s a good thing for everyone in the community to keep the spending locally.”
