Applicant at public hearing describes seasonal crops: “Blueberries are ready”
Summary
During the public hearing the applicant described crop timing for the proposed pick‑your‑own operation, saying blueberries are ready now, blackberries are nearly done, early apples are finished, and muscadines are coming next.
The presenter who appeared in support of the agritourism application described the farm’s current and upcoming harvests during the public hearing. “Blueberries are ready,” the presenter said, and added that blackberries were nearly finished and raspberries were on their second picking.
The presenter elaborated that early apples were an early, tart cooking variety and largely done, and that pears and muscadines would be coming later in the season. Those remarks followed staff’s presentation of the permit request and the board’s subsequent vote to approve the special‑use agritourism permit for the parcel at 3002 Young Mill Road.
