Traditionally Rooted Technologically Enhanced

Data-Driven Practices Optimize Production

At SunSpun, we’re not afraid to experiment in the interest of growing better berries. We believe that traditional farming practices and advanced agricultural technologies go hand in hand—enhancing our commitment to consistency, quality, and freshness.

By bringing these approaches together, we continually improve our ability to deliver the premium quality blueberries that today’s buyers expect. Every clamshell comes to you shelf-ready because it’s the product of a highly controlled, vertically integrated operation that’s always willing to go the extra mile.

Soil Regeneration

Growing high-quality berries begins with building up the soil. By monitoring real-time field conditions and collecting detailed soil data, we’re able to make precise nutrient management, irrigation, and crop input decisions. The result is a sustainably run operation that minimizes waste while increasing yield.

Precision Drone Applications

The right input in the right amount at the right time. That’s the level of precision that’s possible with drones. Our mapping drones monitor what each field needs, while our spray drones deliver targeted applications of key inputs at crucial moments.

Pollination and Acoustic Farming

Without bees there’d “bee” no blueberries. That’s why we proactively track pollination activity with the latest sensors. These tools give us insight into how effectively the bees are pollinating our berries during critical growth periods—helping to ensure our yield never falls short.

GPS Mapping & Monitoring

The right technologies optimize our efficiency. We use GPS systems to map the fields, monitor farm conditions, and provide data analysis. The resulting information empowers us to adjust our rate applications to better meet a crop’s unique needs.

Packing and Distribution

Our strategic investments and data-driven decisions extend beyond the field. A relentless commitment to cold chain integrity—from in-field refrigeration to constant cooling in the shed—means a longer shelf-life. In the packing houses, state-of-the-art optical sorters ensure that only the freshest, most consistently sized and firmest berries make it into each clamshell. The result is a taste, look, and crunch that surpasses your standards every time.

We're willing to go above and beyond to grow the best fruit possible.

Precision Agriculture with a Hands-On Approach

A hands-on, experimental mindset is grown not born. Matt Tucker may be farm raised, but his precision agtech expertise flourished through a combination of agriscience and environmental systems education and practical experience. As SunSpun’s resident precision agriculture expert, Matt is responsible for leading implementation of the farm’s advanced technologies. 

He believes the right tools should enhance—not replace—traditional farming practices. Far from being intimidated by technology Matt emphasizes learning through trial, a willingness to experiment, and an unwavering focus on continuous improvement. SunSpun’s customers reap the benefits of this approach. From optimized production to cost-savings that increase ROI, every shipment of blueberries is fresh, flavorful, and ready to sell.
