Picking Blueberries 2021

• All picking is by appointment only. This will ensure that our farm is not too crowded.
• $25 for 1 gallon of organic blueberries. This includes a new bucket. If you bring your own similar bucket (see photo below for examples), the price is $24. There will be no discounts for partially filled buckets.

If your bucket looks like this (4-quart strawberry type), you may bring it for $1 off.

Our blueberries are USDA Certifiec Organic by Quality Certification Services.

How To Pick Blueberries:

• Pick berries that are completely blue at the stem.
• Pick berries that come off easily.
• Green berries will not ripen after picking.
• Blueberries have a powdery coating that protects the fruit. This is natural and not a spray.
• The best picking is usually at the far ends of the rows.
• Watch your children and stay with them at all times. Teach them how to pick ripe berries.

When You Get Home:

• Refrigerate your berries as soon as possible.
• Store blueberries in an airtight container with a paper towel to absorb moisture. They will keep for up to a week.
• Do not wash blueberries until you are ready to eat them.
• Do not wash blueberries before freezing. If you do wash them, you can dry or freeze on a cookie sheet before packaging for long-term freezing.
