After much consideration and a few tast testing, we've sadly decided not to open the blueberry picking this year. The late frost at the end of March wiped out about 85% of our crop (took out all the peaches 😢). We thought we might be okay to open for a super short season, but then we forgot the birds like to eat too and the dear and the rabbits. During normal years, we easily accommodate these creatures and have plenty extra, but not this year. For the few berries that did survive, the flavor seems off with them.
So sadly, we won't be open this year. But hopefully, with a few frost protection ideas, we can prevent this from happening next year. To all our blueberry pickers, we thank you and hope to see you next year!
In the meantime, please support Blueberry Hill in Sanford, NC, and / or Carter Blueberry Farm in Fayetteville! Support your local farmers! Thanks, y'all!
