| In
1978, Doctor Donald Hunter acted upon his vision of a beautiful family
farm with acres of the finest berries. After finding an excellent
location in Fairview, PA, just west of Erie, he founded Hunter Farms. He and
his family worked hard to plant, maintain, and market blueberries and
raspberries, which continue to produce to this day. They found
that the unique micro-climate, as well as the mineral rich clay soil,
yielded berries with a distinctive fruity sweetness. |
| Although retired from medicine for several years, Dr. Hunter continues to act as a guiding force at Hunter Farms. |
 |
| In
1992, Dr. Hunter's nephew, Richard Hunter, pushed the farm into a new
era when he transitioned the operation to certified organic. By
becoming certified organic, Hunter Farms committed to third-party
inspection and regulation to assure customers of the safety and quality
of the crops grown. Over the years, Richard developed systems to
control pests and disease, as well as build healthy soils, without
using synthetic chemical inputs that harm the earth and its
inhabitants. The resulting crops are better for you not only
because of what is absent, but also because they gain more nutritional
value from a rich, biologically diverse soil. |
