Loré Farms is a well-established farm with a strong reputation for providing high-quality berries to local suppliers and offering a U-pick and small farm market experience for customers. With over 40 years of operation, the farm has built a loyal customer base and has been recognized for its innovative pilot project that extended the strawberry growing season in the region. One of the key strengths of Loré Farms is its diverse berry production, with 1.5 acres of blueberries and 4.5 acres of strawberries, including day-neutral strawberries grown in high tunnels that allow for harvests through November. This provides a unique selling proposition as it extends the growing season beyond the traditional summer harvest window, allowing the farm to capture a larger market share and generate revenue during the off-season. The farm's use of environmentally conscious irrigation techniques and weed-reducing beds also demonstrates a commitment to sustainable farming practices, which can be an attractive feature for environmentally-conscious consumers. In addition to berry production, Loré Farms also has potential for growth in subsidiary vegetable production. By leveraging the existing infrastructure, such as greenhouses and irrigation systems, the farm can expand its vegetable offerings and tap into the growing demand for fresh, locally-grown produce. The farm's focus on accessibility, with wide aisles in the greenhouses to accommodate pickers with mobility challenges, also presents an opportunity to cater to a wider customer base and potentially attract more customers. Another growth opportunity for Loré Farms is clearing more land for berries. With additional acreage dedicated to berry production, the farm can increase its output and expand its market share in the local berry industry. Furthermore, re-developing the U-fish program can attract more customers and generate additional revenue streams, providing a unique and diversified farm experience for visitors. (id:54028)
