Historically dependent on low-value crops, the village has seen a remarkable increase in income levels thanks to the lucrative blueberry market. Blueberries, known for their high market demand both domestically and internationally, offer a much higher return on investment compared to traditional crops.

This included soil preparation, pest management, and efficient harvesting techniques. As a result, the blueberry yields have been impressive, ensuring a steady and substantial income for the farmers.
