NCROC's Horticulture program recently donated 540 pounds of blueberries to Second Harvest Food Bank and other area food shelves. Berries were picked by NCROC staff and the Itasca County Master Gardeners.
Research on the cold-hardiness of blueberries grown at NCROC is conducted by the University of Minnesota's Blueberry Breeding program. To learn more about the Blueberry Breeding program visit: https://mnhardy.umn.edu/blueberries
