An exciting development! The blossoms are officially all gone and that leaves nothing but little green berries that will now continue to size up. Don't these Blue Crop look amazing?! And they are not even blue yet!

You are going to see something new on the farm this year! Each year we try to improve the farm and this year we have added field markers. Each of our different fields on the main farm now has these color coded and labeled posts to help you identify what field is what. These do not replace the flags to indicate where we are picking but these tell you what variety is where.

An exciting development! With this warm weather things are really starting to move along. The blossoms that have been pollinated are falling off and green berries are starting to form.

The Postcards have been counted! We have had a couple questions about our postcards such as when we will be sending them out. We send out our postcards at the start of our season, when the berries are ready to be picked, so you will not see yours in the post quite yet. But we love your enthusiasm!

We get a lot of questions about our "mailing system" and it is quite simple. To get a postcard, all you have to do is fill out your mailing address on the back when you are at the farm, place it in the bucket or hand it to an employee. That's it! The following spring, we count them, place stamps on them, and then pop them in the post. The are basically self-addressed postcards.

Over here, we love doing it old school and postcards are part of the tradition. Did you fill out your postcard for the 2026 season?

Did you know we have many different blueberry varieties on our farm? We do! Some ripen at different points in the season and some are sweeter, some are tarter, some are bigger, some are smaller.
Here we have two different blueberry varieties in blossom. To the left, our Early Blue. An early season blueberry that is already in full bloom. To the right is a mid-season blueberry, the Blue Ray that is in about 10% bloom. The blossoms will open at different times depending on variety and here you can see the difference side by side.
Which is you favorite? Early Blue or Blue Ray?

Can you bee-lieve it? Last week we had the bees out and they started pollinating. These are from our Collins variety. Can you spot the bees?
