Picking Blueberries at our Farm

Blueberries for Pick Your Own are sold by the quart for $7/quart.

We prefer cash or checks, however we do accept all credit cards.

Please feel free to bring your own containers, however we sell our blueberries by the quart so will need to measure them that way at check-out. We love when you bring your used trays but if you forget, our trays are $1/each.

You can find pre-picked pints in our Farm Stand.

It is always a good idea to check our Facebook page or call the farm before visiting to check on picking conditions. We also cannot be open during thunderstorms or heavy rain.

We use Integrated Pest Management at the farm to respond to pest pressure and minimize pesticide use on our farm. While we are not a certified organic farm we have committed to using only organic sprays on the blueberries that you pick. Feel free to eat our blueberries straight from the bush. We also recommend cooling your blueberries as soon as possible when you get home. Questions? Feel free to ask us via email or in person!
