Pruning for Quality
Pruning is crucial as it determines 80% of the fruit's quality. We remove old and unnecessary branches, keeping only the young and vibrant ones to shape the tree and adjust the number of flower buds on each branch. This ensures nutrients are well-distributed, leading to healthy buds.
Thinning for Bigger Berries
Our blueberry plants may produce multiple flowers from a single bud. However, we selectively thin the flowers to concentrate nutrients into fewer fruits, allowing them to grow larger by summer.
Harvesting for Sweetness
Blueberries store sugar overnight, which is used for growth under the sunlight. By picking them early in the morning by human hands carefully, we ensure that this sugar is retained, leading to sweeter fruit.
Sorting for Freshness
The natural powdery coating on blueberries, known as 'bloom,' is a sign of freshness and helps protect the fruit from drying out. Our sorting process ensures each berry is like a sapphire gem - bursting with juicy sweetness when you open the box.
Quality matters most when a berry is a gift. Morino Sapphire blueberries are grown without pesticides during the growing season, handpicked, and shipped directly from our farm.
Our farm not only offers blueberry picking but also features a store and café where our popular blueberry soft serve is a hit. We receive smiles and appreciation from both kids and adults. If you’re in northern Nagano, come visit us!
