Individual Farm – Extension Office Hours

Dr. Calderwood will be present at Extension Offices across the wild blueberry growing regions of Maine this spring for one-on-one free consultations. Sign up for an hour and a half time slot to discuss anything from field management, business planning, how to get started with a new field, expertise on a particular subject, to sharing ideas about research and education efforts.

While Lily has expertise on many subjects, she is also an excellent person to connect you to the resources you need. Lily can visit your field instead of an office meeting, however, developing a field management or business management plan requires focused time at a table with a computer and other
resources.
