Planning for Strong and Sustainable Blueberry Operations
Business planning plays an important role in supporting the long-term viability of blueberry farms. The BC Blueberry Council provides business planning resources to help growers assess their operations, plan for growth or transition, and respond to changing market and production conditions.
These resources are intended to support informed decision-making and practical planning across different stages of a farm’s lifecycle.

Planning resources are especially valuable during periods of expansion, transition, or uncertainty.
