Come to the Country! Blue Ridge Growers is located south of I-94 and west of Hwy 35 in the Town of Troy near the St. Croix River in St. Croix County (between Hudson & River Falls). We are the only grower in the St. Croix Valley that offers non certified organically grown blueberries, raspberries, currants, cut flowers, and dried florals.
Since 1996, Blue Ridge Growers has been open to the general public as a U-Pick operation on property overlooking the fertile Mann Valley in the St. Croix River Valley. The view and tranquility on this bluff near the St. Croix River makes the trip to Blue Ridge an adventurous and memorable activity for all ages.
Grower and Master Gardener Jill Barthen Berke also grows annual and perennial flowers and herbs, suitable for cut floral arrangements, everlasting designs, and culinary use. Bouquets, table and wall everlasting pieces are availalble at the annual HOLIDAYS at BLUE RIDGE Oct. 29 - Nov. 21, 2010 (Fri. and Sat. 9am-7pm; Sun. 11am-5pm) of each year in Jill's Cottage Barn & Studio. Over 25 artisan's work is featured in an atmosphere of festivity, country living, and wholesome fun.
