Patriot Berry Farms Inc. announces new CEO and first harvest
At the time of writing, Patriot Berry Farm Manager, Mr. Doug Harmon, anticipates a yield of 30,000 lbs. during the five to six week picking season (which commences this coming week). Harmon has indicated that he expects this season's produce to generate in excess of $5 per pound.
To reach the company objective of becoming a major operator within the $3.5 billion annual blueberry-strawberry-raspberry domestic market, Patriot Berry plans to acquire a series of further farms, both locally to the Morningstar Farm and across the entire country.
On April 21st 2014 Patriot Berry underwent a change of management, which saw Mr. Alex Houstoun-Boswall step down as Chief Executive Officer to assume the role of Business Development Consultant and is succeeded by Mr. Daniel Cattlin.
Cattlin has been appointed to the position of CEO and brings a new age perspective to Patriot Berry, with expertise in project & asset management as well as a background in corporate finance, giving him both the operational and financial understanding to take the company forward through farm expansion and capital growth.
Blueberries make it as No. 1 Berry. The U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council recently announced the results of a survey that shows consumers now rank blueberries ahead of strawberries as their favourite Berry.
