🫐 Blueberry Season Update 🫐
The final score for the 2026 blueberry season:
Late Frost: 75%
Birds: 24%
My 2-year-old grandson: 1%
Everyone else: 0%
Unfortunately, we've run out of berries and will be closing for Pick-Your-Own this year.
After nearly 20 years of growing blueberries, this is the first season we've had to throw in the towel. Between the late frost and a very enthusiastic flock of birds, there simply weren't enough berries to open for picking.
The good news is that with such a light crop this year, the bushes have been able to put more energy into growth instead of fruit production. We're optimistic that will lead to stronger plants and a banner crop next year.
Thank you for your support and understanding. We'll spend the next 11 months negotiating with Mother Nature, educating the birds on property rights, and making sure my grandson doesn't eat the entire 2027 crop himself.
See you next year! 🫐
