A Week of Blueberry Fun at Up North Blueberry Farm July 28 to August 3

Welcome to another exciting week from Up North Blueberry Farm! We are coming up on the height of blueberry season, and there's no better time to enjoy these delicious, juicy treats. Each week brings fresh opportunities for picking, tasting, and simply enjoying summer flavors. This week is packed with activities, from bustling market days to u-pick adventures. Let’s dive into the highlights!

Monday, July 28: Closed as Usual

Every Monday, we take a breather. This break gives us a chance to restock and recharge for the busy week ahead. If you plan to visit later in the week, remember to pre-order your blueberries! This ensures you won’t miss out on the delicious taste of our handpicked berries.

Tuesday, July 29: Closed for Ripening

Today is another day off, but we have a great reason! We let our blueberries bask in the sun, allowing them to sweeten just right. Research shows that well-ripened blueberries can increase their sugar content by up to 30%. A little patience is key to ensuring you enjoy the juiciest berries possible.

Wednesday, July 30: Market Day!

Market days are always a treat! Today, we have two bustling markets to greet our loyal customers.

Boyne City Farmers Market: 8 AM – 12 PM

Gaylord The Pavilion Market: 9 AM – 1 PM

It is wonderful to connect with familiar faces and meet new customers. Did you know that fresh blueberries have 14% of your daily recommended intake of Vitamin C in just one cup? Just one of the many reasons to indulge!

Thursday, July 31: U-Pick Day – 10 AM to 6 PM

The day we all look forward to—u-pick day! The blueberry fields are brimming with ripe berries, ready for eager families and friends. People gather to enjoy the sun and collect their favorites. We see families leave with buckets filled to the brim, each person smiling and chatting about their fun picking experiences.

Friday, August 1: Closed

We take a pause today to prepare for an exciting weekend. The blueberry picking rush means effective planning is crucial. Pre-ordering can streamline your experience—ensuring you get to enjoy our fresh, sweet blueberries before they are gone!

Saturday, August 2: Blueberry Saturday!

Saturday is truly a blueberry celebration! Our market booths are filled with the juiciest berries. We participate in two lively markets again:

Boyne City Market: 8 AM – 12 PM

Gaylord The Pavilion Market: 9 AM – 1 PM

After the markets, we open the farm for u-pick from 1 PM to 6 PM. Our son and his family will join us, with Maci leading the picking adventure while Jodi takes a moment to celebrate a special occasion. Making memories while harvesting blueberries creates unforgettable bonding experiences!

Sunday, August 3: U-Pick from 10 AM to 6 PM

What a delightful way to end the week! We open the fields again for u-pick, welcoming families eager to soak in the summer sun and pick fresh blueberries. It is a perfect day to enjoy the outdoors and gather the freshest berries straight from the bush.
