Tips for Picking the Best Blueberries
Look for berries that are fully blue—no red or green.
Ripe berries are plump, slightly soft, and roll off easily when touched.
It’s okay to taste a few as you go—just sample sparingly and respectfully.
Don’t overlook lower branches—they often hide the ripest fruit.
A quart is about 1.5 pounds or 4 cups—perfect for pies, jam, muffins, or fresh snacking.
Farm Rules & Safety Reminders
To keep the farm enjoyable and safe for all guests (and our animals), please:
Stay within the blueberry patch and main farm road.
Do not enter animal pens or pet the animals.
Feed animals only with the bags provided at the blueberry stand.
Avoid contact with the white netting—it is electrified.
All dogs must remain on a leash.
Children must be supervised at all times.
