When is the blueberry picking season?
Our blueberry picking season usually begins late June through the first week of August, but each year is different.
What are your hours?
Hours vary, depending on the quantity of ripe berries and the weather. Our phone message and Facebook posts will have the most up-to-date information on our picking schedule.
Should I bring my own bucket?
We provide pre-weighed buckets for picking. You may purchase the picking bucket from us for $1.00 if you like. We ask that you bring a container to carry your berries home. However, we have a limited supply of boxes if you need them.
Do you have pre-picked blueberries?
We have pre-picked blueberries at the sales booth. If you wish to buy more than a couple pounds, please email or phone us to make your order.
Are children allowed to pick?
Children are welcome, but must stay with their parents at all times. Our fields are not conducive to baby strollers.
Should we wash the blueberries before we eat them?
Blueberries are exposed to the natual environment, therefore, we advise you to wash the berries before eating them.
Can we taste the blueberries?
We don't mind you tasting a few berries, but please respect our efforts to provide you with a nutritious crop. Please don't eat too many berries before you pay.
What should we wear?
Wear appropriate shoes for field work.
Are you Certified Organic?
No, we are not Certified Organic.
Is there a bathroom on sight?
We do have a porta-potty.
