blueberry hill's story

netherwood farm always had a blueberry patch - which mainly acted as a source of blueberries for the family at christmas time. about 5 years ago, the blueberries were in such demand, that annalie kleinloog started packaging and selling blueberries by the kilogram, purely as a side business to the angus stud farming enterprise.

the success of the little blueberry patch lead her to enquire what all the fuss was about.

Blueberries contain :

vitamin a
vitamin c,
potassium
magnesium
iron
and are a major source of anti-oxidants.

they are said to prevent degenerative diseases such as :

cancer
alzheimers
cataracts
and cardiovascular disease
while also fighting off 'free radicals' found in cigarette smoke, smog or other pollutants.

our blueberries are naturally grown on the farm without the aid of any pesticides or compost. the season runs from december to february during which the berries are freshly picked every day.

so there you have it. really good for you, with an added bonus of being decidedly tasty.

	the beginning

	"this is the spot". standing on the rocky outcrop on netherwood farm, rob kleinloog made up his mind. and so the daydream began to take shape from bricks, sleepers and stone. Blueberry hill opened its doors at the end of 2008 with a, literal, thundering success. the clouds did open to allow the warm afternoon sunlight to roll with the hills of the midlands - even if just to say - 'we have arrived'. Originally planned as a small coffee shop, serving a few specialty baked goods, blueberry hill has grown to serve a wide range of sweet delights, as well as breakfasts and lunches. this wonderful growth was not only directly due to the buckets of hardwork and love put in by wendy porrill and liza kleinloog, but also due to their mouthwatering blueberry cheesecake - which is now famous in its own right. please see click here for more pictures on our humble beginnings.
