When you visit Bowerman’s Farm & Market, you might come for fresh blueberries, U-Pick, a trip through the market, or something hot from the kitchen. What you see during your visit, though, is only one part of what happens here every day.

Most people find us because they are looking for blueberries. That is how it has been since 1954, when our family planted its first bushes on James Street. But somewhere along the line, our farm turned into more than a place to fill a bucket.

There are certain signs that summer has officially arrived in West Michigan. The days get a little longer, the weather invites everyone outdoors, and our blueberry bushes begin filling with ripe fruit.
