We are proud to have him in this new capacity with Fall Creek.”

“I have been tremendously blessed with the opportunity to work on so many Fall Creek projects. This is a homecoming for me,” says Cully. “Our biggest opportunity in the U.S. is to help bring the blueberry industry here to its next level. In this mature market, there are many exceptional growers and plenty of opportunities for new varieties and innovation. We’re excited to collaborate with our customers and see the market evolve.”

Previously, Cully was director of orchards for Harry & David in Medford, Ore., and nursery manager for J. Frank Schmidt & Son Co. in Boring, Ore. He studied agriculture at Colorado State University and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in horticulture from University of Connecticut.
