Hello all from the farm!! Hope everyone is surviving this summer heat and enjoying your blueberries from our harvest. The bushes are looking healthy and hoping for a bountiful season next year.

Deer are everywhere!! We've seen several babies and at least one set of twins! (Enjoy the video!).

I've been busy painting during this off season and was honored to learn "The student" was juried into the Florida Watercolor Society exhibition. Our area is so fortunate to have a beautiful new art center, Herrig Center for the Arts. 888 3rd Ave. W., Bradenton, and the exhibition will be open from Sept 1 through Oct. 10. Don't miss it!!

Although harvest is many months away, don't forget to sign up for email notifications on our website, LYNABERRYFARMS.COM, Scroll to bottom of home page and sign up!

Until next time....we'll see you in the field!! Lyna and Susan

If any of our farm neighbors recognize this gal please respond. She was at our gate on Friday then ventured to neighbors. She doesn't appear to be injured and not sure if she was dropped off but would like to get her home if someone is missing her.

UPDATE: Shes back home safe and sound!

Exciting news from the farm...well, at least for me!! I'm officially in print with my painting, Remembering the Highlands! I used to dream about being in this publication, admiring all of the artists, and I made it in!! To be among these artists is a bit surreal for sure. And the journey continues.....

Three years ago a local Girl Scout group donated the Bat Box! Well the bats finally found their home!! They are out at dusk and dawn helping to keep insects under control. You can see the evidence of their existence under the box! Melissa Sharma thank you and the girls!!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!! We are open for upick today only!

We apologize for the late notice and thinking we were closed for the season, but hopefully those that couldn't make it during the week now have a chance to come out and pick.

We are opening early at 7:00 AM to beat the heat and the love bugs!! We will close at 2, last car in at 1:00.

Price $4 lb, cash, check, venmo, credit card.
Honey 12oz $10, 24 oz $18
Farm merchandise, t-shirts, hats!

After careful consideration and a very small crop this year, we are officially closing our 2026 U-pick season.

To put this into perspective, last season we were open a total of 15 days for U-pick and had plenty of fruit to accommodate. This year we have been open 3 days and the berries remaining are few and far between.

We will continue to have blueberry plants for sale and our local honey. Feel free to reach out via text if interested.

Thank you to everyone that came out this year to support us! You are what help keep us going, year after year.

Until then...we'll see you in the field.

Although this will be later than originally predicted, this is one of the contributing factors to not reopen on this Saturday! Farming is unpredictable and you make decisions of what you believe can happen and hope you get it right! The big concern is having all of our fruit knocked to the ground from wind and rain so opening on a Friday was the best choice.

FLORIDA SEVERE WEATHER ⛈️ Possible on Saturday, starting in the Panhandle during the morning and Noon...then heading towards Central Florida during the afternoon and early evening.

Few storms could be strong to severe...capable of hail, strong wind and even a tornado. Greater severe potential (but not limited to) are the areas in yellow. After sunset, we could see a gradual weakening trend with the line of storms as it heads down the coast.

By Sunday, scattered storms could redevelop while in Southern Florida...giving some drought relief. Most totals across the state will be below 1", however, I do expect isolated higher totals upwards of 1-3" of rain in harder hit spots. I'll stay on top of it and get you the latest 24/7.

We have assessed the field and after having another wonderful crowd of u-pickers, we are out of ripe blueberries. We will NOT be open tomorrow, Saturday 5/2.

We will continue to evaluate the field in days to come and determine when we can open again. Thank you all for coming out today....we'll see you in the field!!
