Berries
Since 2009 we have been growing over a dozen varieties of Blueberries for U-Pick.
In 2018 we starting growing a few strawberry varieties all for U-pick.
The first blueberry varieties usually start to ripen the end of April and we have new varieties ripening every week. The last blueberries usually ripen in July. 2023 has not been a typical year and blueberries should be ripe in the third week of May.
Strawberries being to ripen in March. The first strawberries of the season are usually the biggest and juiciest. Strawberry plants continually flower and produce new fruit. They love the cool spring days. They usually stop producing when the weather gets above 95 degrees.
Blueberries and Strawberries are $4.10 per pound for what you pick.
