Pest management is one the most crucial areas of management when growing strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries.

At Beach Street Farms we spend a great amount of effort finding, scouting, and introducing various beneficial insects to help stabilize populations of pests harmful to plants, flowers, and fruit. Most harmful insects are vulnerable to one or many predators.

We are constantly searching for the right balance in insect populations to maintain plant vigor, health, and fruit quality. This is best accomplished in the organic model. We utilize many of these same pest management tools in conventional berries to minimize chemical use.
