Best Times to Visit
 

The first few days of U-Pick season and the first hour of the day are usually the busiest. For a more relaxed visit, consider coming later in the day, after opening week, or on a day when we’ve posted that plenty of berries are available.

We typically have blueberries available well into August, depending on weather and ripening.

Want Fresh Berries

Without Picking?

 

No time to pick? You can pre-order fresh-picked blueberries for contactless farm pickup or farmers market pickup. During peak season, we often sell out, so reserved orders are picked and packed first.
