Blueberry picking starts mid-July and continues thru early August. Picking hours are posted above. Sign up for our e-mail list to be notified when picking officially begins.
Yes, our berries are organically grown & spray-free. We weed the field by hand instead of spraying herbicides and practice careful pruning and management to protect our plants from pests and disease. Rest assured that your family and loved ones will never be exposed to toxic chemicals on our farm.
Follow the signs to the check-in tent behind the greenhouse. We’ll weigh your containers (if you brought some) or give you containers to use. Then, we’ll take you out to the berry field. After picking, return to the check in area to pay for your berries.
You can bring your own containers or use ours. Bowls or buckets work best. If you bring containers, get them weighed before picking so we can deduct the weight at checkout.
Yes, we’re a family-friendly farm and love to have children come. Children of any age can pick blueberries with supervision. Horseplay, running in the berry patch, and throwing berries is not allowed.
We have fresh & frozen blueberries for sale from late July-early August. First-come, first-serve. To reserve, email or call ahead, then pick up when we’re open. Frozen berries are available during peak season until sold out.
Because that is the best time to pick! It’s usually too hot to pick berries mid-day. By evening, the oppressive heat gives way to a gentle breeze. The bushes are dry for pleasant, easy picking. Join us for peaceful morning picking or unwind and connect with friends after a busy day.
Our berry field is an easy walk from the parking lot (about 150 feet). We have a covered canopy on the way to the berry patch with chairs and ice water, providing a shady place to rest and refresh if needed.
Yes. There’s a gentle slope leading out to the field. If you can roll through mowed field grass, you should be fine. Please notify us if you need special accommodations or assistance. We’re happy to help!
You can pick blueberries during a light rain. Bring a hat, raincoat, boots, and covered container. We close the field during heavy rain and thunderstorms.
Occasionally, we allow private groups or serious berry pickers to pick by appointment. Contact us if you’re interested in this option.
Upon arrival, each picker is allowed to sample a couple sun-ripened blueberries. The rest go in the container until they are paid for. Bountiful bushes of berries don’t just happen. Our family puts in many hours of planting, weeding, fertilizing, pruning, trellising, and mulching to produce this crop. Please be respectful of that.
For sanitary reasons, pets are not allowed in the berry field and shouldn’t be left in the car while picking. Please keep pets at home.
Yes. We accept, cash, checks, Apple Pay, and all major credit cards (Mastercard, Visa, Discover).
Yes, we have a quaint modern outhouse for customer use.
