"AtwoodAG is an excellent investment for your farm! You will see stronger plants, better quality, and higher yields by making this investment. Ryan is incredibly knowledgeable, meticulously detailed, and easy to communicate with. He goes the extra mile to visit your farm, intentionally reach out for check ins after the visit, and will search for answers if he does not know something. His visits go far beyond the actual time spent on the farm. He has helped us understand everything from replanting to water management to nutrition to pest control. We cannot recommend him enough as he took our field from struggling to thriving through teaching, rather than telling, how to farm."
John Whitehead, Whitehead's Blueberry Farm

"I have been working very closely with Ryan over the last year on our blueberry project in Sebring. The benefit of using him as a consultant is he works with growers all over the state and has a strong knowledge of what is making each farm produce in each region. Every farm is different and he is able to give profitable recommendations, specifically to your farm. His hand is on the pulse of what is happening with marketing, growing, harvesting, and what varieties are most productive. Whether you’re starting a farm or have an existing farm, keep Atwood in your pocket as a tool. Knowledge is a tool!!"
Will Greear, American Forest Management

"We are a wholesale plant nursery and farm. Before Ryan, we were struggling with the Blueberry bushes and profitability on our U-Pick. He came out on a U-Pick day and made solid recommendations from the start, provided us with a spray schedule, and a lot of ongoing phone and email support. It has turned that part of our operation around. We are now looking forward to a profitable year. Thank you Ryan."
