2026 Picking Season is Done

The 2026 Picking Season began Saturday, August 1st, and concluded Sunday, September 20th. The crop, although seemingly abundant on a bush-by-bush basis, overall it was a below average year in terms of abundance. Berry quality was very good due to the dry conditions during the picking season. We hope for a more abundant crop in 2027.

Everything is the same as prior years except the new price is $2.50/lb, self serve, self pick, bring your own containers. Open everyday, daylight hours, 8 am - 8 pm. Bring cash in denominations that would not require change (round to the nearest dollar) or personal check. Sorry, due to the new requirements of point-of-sale (POS) devices for swiping the Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards, we are NO LONGER ABLE to accept SNAP, WIC, and Project Fresh. We are truly sorry. If you want to use that benefit here, just accept the berries with our compliments. We are happy to share the abundance with you. Just put the weight of your harvest in the log but no other indication or mention. Thanks.

We offer relatively easy and safe picking of naturally grown high-bush blueberries. Starting early to mid-August, berry pickers of all ages can come any time, every day that we are open, which depends on the availability of berries.
