We are a small organic berry farm in Southold NY committed to making award-winning jam and on-the-ground innovations with alternative pollinators. Blossom Meadow Farm was designed with the knowledge that native pollinators pollinate 2-3 times better than honey bees and that more complete pollination of a flower results in higher yields and higher quality berries. To this end, we raise mason bees, maintain natural areas throughout the farm for native pollinators to live, follow organic growing principles, ensure multiple flower species are blooming throughout the growing season, turn off the lights at night (moths pollinate), plant multiple cover crops a year, and no longer keep honey bee hives.
Goals for the future? Increase our farm’s berry yield, make more jam and entice more folks to become mason bee ranchers. Thank you for supporting our farm – you are a major reason why Blossom Meadow continues to reach new levels of success.
