Semi-private /Private Picking is there a need?

On Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays in June, we scheduled Semi-private/Private Picks for those buying more than 3 buckets (3 buckets equals $45). A social distance outing with your group? – or maybe individuals or households who may have a high-risk member, and must be very cautious about any possibility of interaction with other individuals right now, in 2020.

Time slots in 2020 were:
8:00 AM to 9:30 AM,
9:30 AM to 11:00 AM,
6:00 PM to 7:30 PM, and

This was in addition to Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday, which were still regular pick days with hours: 8-11 AM and 6-9 PM. (no appointment was necessary on regular pick days)

How to Schedule a semi-private/private pick outing

June-2020: We have designated four time-slots during the best berry-picking times of the day. They are 8:00 AM to 9:30 AM, 9:30 AM to 11:00 AM, 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM, and 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM. If you are interested in taking advantage of this offer, and want to book a time-slot, please call (or text) 706-518-8869 to schedule, and we will accommodate and provide the opportunity for you to pick anti-oxidant rich, nutritious blueberries. You can pick blueberries to eat fresh and also pick some to freeze for the winter months. Your immune system may need a boost later in the year.

We also offer “Berries Ready-to-go”, which are picked to order, rinsed, dried, sorted and bagged blueberries. The price is $25 for a generous 2½ quarts, which is only $10 more than picking them yourself. Please call ahead for Berries Ready-to-go, and get them curbside-style (delivered to your car). These are fresh and picked to order so please call ahead.

Frozen Option

For a few dollars more you can get them IQF (Individually Quick Frozen). The cost for a generous 2½ quarts of IQF berries is $30. IQF means that the berries are quickly frozen individually – and then bagged. This allows you to take them out of the freezer as individual berries! Great for snacking or for measuring for recipes!

Blueberry picking 2020

Season opens Sunday, May 31st

Blueberry picking is on, beginning Sunday May 31st! (There are limited blackberries available too, but they are ripening a little behind the blueberries.) Hours are morning pick: 8-11 AM, and evening pick 6-9 PM. You can pick both blueberries and blackberries in the same bucket, same price. This year, we are offering one size bucket to simplify and streamline having to make change. The winning size is the most popular (and best value) bucket, which holds a generous 2½ quarts. The cost is $15, same as last year, and the year before that. We provide both the buckets and liners with twist tie. You keep the liner which makes it easy to tote your berries home.

Ripening in the rain

The berries are ripening nicely and seem to be especially huge this year. Could it be this rain? Above are a few blueberry picking photos taken today, May 27th as we got some of the very first fruit (in the rain), and then compared some of them to a quarter! Not all the blueberry bushes produce this size fruit, so we are definitely marking this one! It is scheduled to rain every day this week, but Sunday is predicted to be total sunshine. Did Mother Nature know we would open on Sunday?

Blueberries are an antioxidant-rich fruit which help your immune system. We hope you pick some to eat fresh, and also freeze some for the future months. Check out this post from March 12, 2020. Picking right from the bush gives your fruit the most nutritional value possible. Below are a few photos from yesterday.

What about social distancing?

If you have visited us in previous years, you will know that social distancing is not a problem with so many rows of fruit. The rows are also fairly wide so keeping a distance of six feet away from other pickers is easily obtainable. Our rows are now numbered, so if a really, really large number of pickers show up at the same time, we can assign you a row.

In addition to each bucket having a fresh liner, we have taken some extra measures this year. We will spray the metal buckets with CDC recommended food-service spray after each use, and set them in the sun to dry.

The process of paying and getting your buckets will be only slightly different. Offering one size bucket will greatly reduce the need for change and make things way easier. As always, you can still pay with cash or with PayPal. We are too small an operation to take credit cards.
