Jubilee Orchards selling mature organic blueberry plants

For the first time, fans of organic blueberries harvested by Tallahassee’s Jubilee Orchards have the opportunity to grow their own luscious, organic berries thanks to the farm’s sale of adult plants.

“This is a great opportunity for Jubilee Orchards blueberry lovers to grow our berries in their own backyards,” said the orchards’ owner Bud Chiles. “We will provide easy-to-follow instructions on plant maintenance and care. In addition, we will have quantities of organic fertilizer and mulch available for an additional fee for plant health and growth.”

The mature organic plants will be sold in 15-gallon pots for $30 each. All plants are certified organic and are guaranteed to be in good condition and capable of bearing fruit if properly cared for. Discounts will be provided for volume sales by individuals or commercial growers.

Blueberries from Jubilee Orchards usually are available for purchase online, at community events, through the Red Hills Online Market and, in the spring, during the orchard’s “U-Pick Season.” Currently, all sales are conducted at Jubilee’s orchards.

“During our harvest season, thousands of individuals and families come to Jubilee Orchards to fill their buckets with our organic blueberries on ‘U-Pick’ outings,” said Chiles. “Now, people will be able to just step outside into their own gardens and pick what they need for a great pie, cobbler, muffins or pancakes.”

Jubilee Orchards also is opening the sale to commercial blueberry growers and nurseries across North Florida and South Georgia that have not been able to stock certified-organic blueberry plants. Jubilee Orchards can fulfill orders of up to 10,000 mature plants for select customers.
