Thank you to everyone who came out to RabbitEye Farm and picked during this short, hot, thunder-stormy season. It has been an odd year, but we are thankful to have had even the few pick days that we did. We are now closed for the season.
Berry picking season is always too short. Both June and berry picking season is ending. Twenty Twenty-three has proven to be a challenge, but we are optimistically looking forward to next year. Keep us in mind!
Rain is forecast for several days. The cloud cover also means picking during the middle of the day is fine and not too hot. The rain plan for anyone interested in picking blueberries this week is to just call or text before you want to come out. The weather is unpredictable so we can’t keep normal hours. So, the NEW hours are that Sunday through Thursday, you can now plan your pick at your convenience anytime (and between thunder storms), but please text or call ahead so we will do our best to accommodate your arrival. Phone: 706-518-8869.
The berries, bushes, and grass are all soaked, but there are plenty of big blueberries to pick. You may have to reach a little deeper into the bushes, but you can easily fill a bucket or two. This new rain plan should work out great for everyone… just contact us first to make sure. We are nearing the end of the season so don’t wait too late. Check out these beautiful smiles:
2023 opening day is Thursday, June 15th, just in time for Father’s Day. You may want to pick some berries for the Father figure in your life, or bring him to pick on Sunday. Either way, we are happy to announce that we will be open beginning Thursday June 15th. Normal pick days will stay on schedule as long as we have berries. Pick days are Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, 8-11am and 6-9pm.
We provide a bucket and liner. You keep the liner to gently carry your berries home. It’s that easy! The bucket size is two and a half quarts and the price is $15 per bucket. So all you have to do is show up… best if you don’t wait.
No. Our berries are grown with organic practices and are not sprayed with any pesticide. The only thing we put on our berry plants is rain, and when it doesn’t rain, we water them with spring water.
Our pick days are rain or shine. The berries are definitely fresh, rain-washed is a bonus! If Mother Nature sends some rain… its a great chance to wear your boots. (Picking in the rain has proven to be more fun than you would think.)
Berry season is always too short and this year we got a late start – so don’t wait too late!
