Over 130 kilograms of Potatoes
22 kilograms of Cabbage
Over 25 kilograms of Sweet Onions
Over 30 kilograms of Bell peppers

Thanks to all of the volunteers that came by throughout the year to help ensure another successful year at Blueberry Fields. A special thank you to Ken, who won Home Suite Hope’s Top Programs Volunteer award in June for all of his hard work. To all of the volunteers who came out and worked in Blueberry Fields, thank you!
