On this episode of Onsite with FSD, the podcast of FoodService Director, we get to know Amy and Dan Stocking, who are third-generation owners at Turner’s Blueberry Farm, where they brought the farm into this century with social media, and have become part of a community where they help educate people on agriculture and the delicious superfood. They share what it’s been like to leave the relatively big city of Detroit and pick up old family roots to try their hand at making it grow. They also share their best tips for blueberries on the menu for any time of year.
