Blueberry nursery expands through strategic partnership

Island Grove is thrilled to announce the creation of Island Grove Blueberry Nursery and the expansion of its nursery operations through a strategic partnership with MBG Marketing and its plant genetics affiliate, Berry Blue. This alliance will bolster the existing portfolio of plant varieties available to growers by increasing production capacity, improving distribution reach, and allowing the introduction of new and proprietary southern highbush plant varieties.

Over the years, Island Grove has established itself as a producer of blueberry plants. Island Grove Blueberry Nursery will continue to build upon that experience. Since it's also a grower, it has strong roots in the blueberry industry, and it supports its fellow growers from field preparation and planting all the way through to the harvest season.

This alliance will bolster the existing portfolio of plant varieties available to growers by increasing production capacity, improving distribution reach, and allowing the introduction of new and proprietary southern highbush plant varieties.

"Our expansion with MBG Marketing is a significant milestone in our journey. Together, we will further elevate the standards of blueberry cultivation and distribution, and we are incredibly excited about the possibilities that lie ahead," said Jerod Gross, general manager of Island Grove Blueberry Nursery.

MBG Marketing, with its grower network and presence in the blueberry industry, also brings experience and expertise to Island Grove Blueberry Nursery. The cooperative's history of serving the needs of the blueberry industry aligns with the mission of providing growers with plants.
