Say, if you haven’t had breakfast yet, or are hungry now, doesn’t this tub of berries look refreshing! I was among the first in line at the Banner UMC cafeteria when opened for the day at 7 am. I was on a mission to get a large coffee since I’d spent the night in my son’s ICU room.
If I hadn’t been distracted by seeing the hot orders line staff making scores of giant breakfast burritos I would have gone back in the cold deli buffet area to scoop out some fruit. #Berries #Blueberries #Blackberries #iPhone #Fruit

The NSW blueberry industry
"Almost 80 per cent of Australia's blueberries are grown on the mid-north coast of New South Wales, where the industry has grown rapidly.The NSW Environment Protection Authority polices the rules and since 2020 its inspections in berry-growing areas around Coffs Harbour and Nambucca have increased by 180 per cent, finding "occasional transgressions"."
"A recent meeting of the Nambucca Environment Network at Macksville, locals raised concerns about the berry industry's use of chemicals, water, protective plastic tunnels and bird netting. The... laws haven't kept pace with the industry." >>

Being the fans that we are, we got the first blueberries of the year today. From Peru. Some were tasteless, many tart. Maybe February is not the right time to start eating #blueberries. 😁

Traumatic landscapes of plastic, pollution and exploitation
The coastline of Spain is known as the ‘Sea of Plastic’ ("Mar de Plástico”) It is the world’s largest plastic greenhouse complex with 350 square km of fruit and vegetables grown by immigrant labour for the horticultural industry. >>

NSW Greens to move bill to let councils better regulate berry industry as it continues rapid expansion“People move into these beautiful valleys for the lifestyle and the environment but then wake up one day and within months they are looking at an industrial-scale blueberry farm."
"Faehrmann’s bill will call for mandated buffers between intensive horticulture farms and homes and waterways, as well as strict controls on spraying, runoff and irrigation and greater monitoring of produce for pesticides."
"Blueberry farming is rapidly expanding beyond Coffs Harbour, where it began several decades ago, into the Nambucca Valley and the Kempsey area to the south, and west toward Grafton and Bellingen."

Update: All the prunings have now been shredded and have been placed as mulch around the row of blueberry bushes. One more job ticked off the to-do list. Note the way the mulch reddens as it ages. The redder stuff in the back is about a week older than the lighter stuff added today.

Finally! The APVMA suspends dimethoate use on berries. A classic case of "better late than never," but the real scandal is that a chemical this risky was ever approved for our food.

Pesticide spray drift from intensive horticulture on the the mid-north coast NSW -
Discontent in the region.Home owners, dairy and beef producers among those concerned about how pesticide use affects their land as well as water quality on the mid-north coast
“Between 2001 and 2016 blueberry farming expanded 400% – mainly around the Coffs Harbour region.”
“This monitoring showed the continued detection of pesticides in most waterways sampled, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring in the region.”
“Monitoring in the Nambucca valley by the EPA has detected three different pesticides in low levels in three creeks, suggesting water quality in the area is not being impacted by excessive amounts of pesticides.”

The booming NSW blueberry industry has a very dark underside. Behind the glossy fruit in supermarkets are stories of withheld passports, visa loopholes, overcrowded and unsafe housing, and wages far below the legal minimum.
This isn’t an accident — it’s a system designed to squeeze vulnerable workers while corporations and farm owners profit. NSW still refuses to licence labour hire companies, a reform other states like Queensland have already adopted. Without it, dodgy labour contractors flourish and exploitation continues unchecked.
The government looks the other way because cheap labour means cheap exports, but the cost is paid by workers living in conditions that border on modern slavery.
If we can regulate unions, if we can regulate welfare recipients, then we can certainly regulate big agriculture and labour hire firms. Protecting workers’ rights should never come second to the profits of agribusiness.#nsw #blueberries #labourrights #workersrights #modernslavery #auspol

#VoicesFromTheBarrens: Film & Discussion
Panel Discussion (via Zoom): Tuesday, October 7, at 6:00 PM (pre-registration required)
"Join us for an online screening of the documentary Voices From the Barrens followed by and a panel discussion with REACH #Wabanaki Wellness Coordinator, #BrianAltvater, filmmaker #NancyGhertner and other guests. The film will be available beginning Thursday, September 25, 2025 till the evening of the panel discussion on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, at 6:00 PM.
"Voices from the Barrens, #NativePeople, #Blueberries and #Sovereignty, documents the wild blueberry harvest of the Wabanaki #IndigenousPeople from the USA and Canada as the tribes are challenged to balance blueberry hand raking traditions with the economics of the world market. The documentary was filmed from 2014 to 2019 and was released in 2020. It has been part of nine film festivals, part of the Maine Public’s Film Series, and at many colleges and universities across Maine and New England.
"Pre-Registration to view the film and to participate in the online panel discussion is required, please sign up below. Registrants will receive a follow up email with instructions and a link to the film and event.
"For questions contact: Tom Reynolds [email protected], 207-831-6980
"This event is free and open to the public. Contributions supporting our ongoing work are greatly appreciated.
"Nancy Ghertner, the film’s director, lives along Lake Ontario in New York. She was introduced to the Passamaquoddy at Sipayik while she was a student at Colby College where she was involved in a research project related to the tribal communities of Maine. She subsequently followed a path into the visual arts and has created numerous experimental and documentary films. Her 2011 feature documentary, 'After I Pick the Fruit' was screened at various film festivals and received a Documentary Achievement awards. 'Voices from the Barrens,' was started from Nancy’s research into agriculture labor across the international border."

#Dimethoate is a neurotoxin used to combat the pest fruit fly and acts by interrupting a chemical essential for nerve function. At certain levels, it is toxic to the human nervous system.
It was banned in the European Union in 2019, and has been classed by the US Environmental Protection Agency as a "possible human carcinogen".
It is legal to use it in Australia.
