Don’t Wait
The berries don’t usually last into July, but… they might. Don’t wait too late to pick fresh, straight-from-the-farm, delicious blueberries and blackberries for your family. Get some to eat now and freeze some for the winter months.
Right now the berries are holding steady and really are a dream to pick. The abundance is real! You can easily fill a bucket while you chat with a friend or perhaps enjoy some quiet time with Mother Nature. Our hours are set to take advantage of the cool mornings and shady evenings.
How it works
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 whether you pick blueberries, or blackberries, or a combination. So all you have to do is show up… best if you don’t wait.
Do you spray your plants?
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.
What if it rains?
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.)
Should I Rinse the Berries (or Not) Before I Freeze Them?
This has come under some debate on whether its best to rinse and dry the berries before you freeze them. We usually rinse them but if you don’t want to, here is some discussion and a link from Southern Living saying not to rinse them. Well, the choice is yours. You definitely don’t have to rinse any pesticides off because we don’t use any. The rinsing, to us, simply freshens them and removes a few stray leaves or stems, but it certainly is not something you have to do.
Berry season is always too short so don’t wait too late! Whether you freeze, can, dry, or jell some for later, you will be glad to have them this winter.
