Hey Blueberry Lovers! It has been a crazy spring and summer, at least in the blueberry growing arena! We have been getting lots of calls from all our supporters wondering when the berries will be ready. Well, let me explain! The plants were loaded with blooms this spring; however, the bumblebees weren't ready!! It was too cold and rainy, and the pollination was poor. While there are some berries on a couple of the varieties, there are not near the berries compared to the blooms! In addition, the field is at least 3 weeks behind the normal season. So, we will wait a little longer. The only variety that looks like it will provide enough to open to the public are at least 3 weeks out. Even at that we will more than likely be open only a few days. Thanks for hanging in there with us, this has been quite a journey! We will be back in a couple weeks. Have a blessed day!!

Due to the harsh winter we are sad to announce that we will not be open for the 2018 blueberry picking season. This was the case for many of the fruit growers around our growing area. We are hopeful for next year!
