    The owner writes on June 26, 2009: "I am the owner of Chmielewski's Blueberry Farm. When we bought this farm several years ago it was taken over by brush, honeysuckle and a variety of different vines. For several years, we have slowly tried to clean up the brush and vines. Trying to keep up with the vines has been very costly to us. We are trying to stay organic but unfortunately it is very difficult. You have to manually cut out the vines that grow up through the bushes. THis has to be done several times a year. We have been in a severe drought for almost 2 months and are irrigating around the clock. We have had a record amount of people out picking this year so we have been closing down to let the berries ripen during the week. Now to add to our problems, the birds are eating all of the ripe blueberries before we can re-open. We are definitely going to have to make some changes next year. We are doing our best to keep our farm opened to the public. We have been told that we will most probably have to start using chemicals. We are trying not to go with chemicals. Many of our customers have volunteered to help us out with our vines and brush. We have reluctantly decided to take them up on this offer. "
    A visitor writes on June 20, 2009: "Arrived at 8 AM on Saturday (after farm closed all week for ripening) and found virtually NO berries. Five people picked 2 pounds in one hour. Not worth the trip. Farm is in poor condition, many bushes overgrown with vines. "
