Northwest Berry Foundation

Northwest Berry Foundation The Northwest Berry Foundation strengthens the NW berry community through on-farm research, collecting and disseminating information, and reducing fruit waste.

MISSION:
The Northwest Berry Foundation strengthens the Northwest berry community through on-farm research, collecting and disseminating information, and coordinating the recovery of fruit that would otherwise go to waste. HOW IT WORKS:
On-Farm Research: The founders of the NBF and many of the board of directors are professionals within the commercial Northwest berry industry. One the foundation’

s main goals is to enable better coordination between the region’s many research scientists. This includes carrying out applied research, such as on-farm variety trials, that benefit all northwest berry growers. Collecting and Disseminating Information: In 2016, the NBF took over information links previously carried out by Peerbolt Crop Management. These resources include:
• The Small Fruit Update, a weekly newsletter for the Northwest berry industry that started in 2000 and is supported entirely by the region’s growers through their regional berry commissions.
• The Berriesnw.com website, which has provided berry community information for over 15 years. It is now the nwberriesfoundation.org website.
• Workshops for growers and industry support people.
• Other newsletters supporting the berry community. Coordinating efforts to recover fruit that would otherwise go to waste: In 2013, we started recovering fruit that is left in harvested fields because it isn’t economically viable to pick. We have partnered with other local food recovery and food distribution organizations, such as the Portland Fruit Tree Project and the Oregon Food Bank. Given the great community need for fresh, nutritious food and the significant amount of fruit going to waste each year, we’ll continue to expand this program.

The recent moisture from earlier this week is bringing up fruit rot issues now 😢

The one thing this upcoming heatwave will do is dry up the one thing fungus loves: moisture.

More crop management tips coming in the next couple weeks! 💪🏽
