Heron Ridge Estates Blueberry U-Pick

The Great Blue Heron is an impressive bird, standing over a metre tall with a wingspan that reaches up to two metres across. Herons can be seen along the shores of the Columbia River year-round and are fascinating to watch as they fish in the shallows.

Three things you might not know about the Great Blue Heron:

🔵 Herons nest in tall trees (20-50m) in quiet woodlands
🔵 Great places to watch for them are Zuckerberg Island, Selkirk College (near Waldie Island), or from the waterfront at Millenium Park
🔵 They live an average of 15 years, but can live up to 25

Good morning all! 🫐
Just an announcement in regards to our morning hours. Due to this current heat wave and thick smoke.. we have decided to open the field for earlier picking! Weigh outs will still remain at 8am.. but early birds can start any time before that to beat the heat! 👍
See you there! 🤠🫐
