๐จ BLUEBERRY HOURS UPDATE ๐จ
Please read the following with the most amount of these emojis ๐๐๐๐๐๐ in your head as possible, your about to get a dose of my sense of humor ๐๐โ some of these tooโฆ
Apparently some people think I personally control the weather.
I regret to inform you that I do not.
Because itโs going to be HOT HOT, weโre switching to evening picking this week:
๐ซ Friday: 6 PM - 9 PM
๐ซ Saturday: 6 PM - 9 PM
โBut why do you call it the cool of the evening when itโs still 100 degrees?โ
Excellent question.
After 7 PM the field starts getting shaded, the irrigation kicks on, the ground begins to cool, and thanks to the creek running under our property it becomes significantly more pleasant than standing on red dirt in full sun at 10 AM when itโs already trying to melt your shoes.
Truthfully, the best picking time is probably 5-7 AM.
Unfortunately the number of people excited to wake up before sunrise to pick blueberries can currently be counted on one hand. (Mostly me and my dad drinking hot coffee in complete silence. ๐)
So weโre embracing evening picking.
Bring a lawn chair. Pick a bucket. Stay awhile. Let the kids run around. Watch the sun go down over the field.
A friendly reminder that Mother Nature ultimately decides how long blueberry season lasts. We adjust days and hours based on weather, berry ripeness, field conditions, irrigation needs, and approximately 437 other things outside our control.
Weโre not trying to ruin anyoneโs summer plans, weโre simply trying to keep everyone safe, comfortable, and picking the best berries possible in the shortest amount of time. When it started to take customers longer than 30 min to pick we typically chose for a few days to let it ripen.
See you in the field tonight and tomorrow night! โค๏ธ๐ซ
