2022 Blueberry season: I want to preface the schedule below with a couple things- the late cold snap appears to have damaged some of the crop. Even though not ripe, deer are already enjoying the berries🤦🏻‍♀️. If you want to come pick, please don’t wait. They have started to ripen and will ripen quickly!
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
You can now begin scheduling a time to pick Blueberries! It is best to text me or message through FB. I don’t always have my phone on me and if you call I may not be able to get to it. Thanks! Our picking times for this season have changed and we WILL NOT deviate from them!

We had a medical emergency out here a couple years ago and had to call an ambulance. Everything turned out fine, but I do not want that to happen again if I can help it.
NO EXCEPTIONS!
You need to plan to arrive in time to be done picking before 11 am! It is just too hot during these hours given the blueberries are in FULL SUN.
PRICES: U-PICK $8 gallon CASH ONLY
PRE-PICK (we pick them for you)
$25/gallon CASH ONLY
I will be taking money first this year, but you can always come back for another bucket and pick more and pay then.
BUCKETS: we provide the gallon bucket lined with a bag. You pick into the bucket and simply lift the bag out and take it with you and leave the bucket with us for the next customer.
Things to keep in mind when picking:
- [ ] Blueberries are in full sun. You may need sunscreen.
- [ ] You are outside and there are bugs so consider bringing bug spray. With the recent rain, there are ants
- [ ] Please, please wear closed toe shoes!
- [ ] You need to stay hydrated so you may want to bring a water bottle
- [ ] The blueberries are free of pesticides or any other spray so you can eat while you pick
- [ ] We have no bathroom, but there are several places to stop if coming from the Birmingham area. If coming from Tuscaloosa side, there is a rest area and a couple places off the Brookwood exit to stop before you arrive
- [ ] If you need directions please let us know
We look forward to seeing everyone this year! Blueberry season is fairly short so if you’re wanting to come out, don’t wait!
