The demand for fresh and processed berries continues to increase in restaurants as fresh desserts, in mixed and single fruit juice drinks, jams, pastries, and other desserts.
Brambles are an ideal crop for both large and small farms.
Family labor can be employed for many duties on small plantings, but large plantings may require additional help in the pruning and harvesting seasons. Because brambles require high investments initially and returns come slowly at first, long-term management of capital is required. The long-term success of any bramble grower relies on achieving two basic objectives. One objective is to produce high-quality bramble fruit. The other is to realize a profit through proper resource management.
