It’s All About Berries!

Hosts Diane Booth and Joan Farnam talk to Cook County grower Brian Wilson, and Tom
Galazen and Ann Rosenquist from North Wind Organic Farm in Bayfield, Wis. about berry
growing in the Northwoods.
Brian and his wife Laura put 10,0,000 strawberry plants in on their farm in Hovland. This
is the first season for the new venture and everybody is excited about what these berries
will taste like.
North Wind Organic Farm grows lots of strawberries, too, as well as raspberries and
blueberries.
The panelists also discuss the spotted wing drosophila, native to Asia, that is proving to
be a difficult pest for many berry growers across the country. It has been found in Lake
County and in Bayfield.
