We will open for the picking season July 8th and run sometime into mid September, weather pending.
Our September hours are Monday - Friday 9am-5pm and Saturday 9am-4pm & Sunday 9am-5pm. For Saturday picking please arrive before 3:40pm so we can close promptly at 4:00pm to accommodate wedding ceremonies
We kindly ask you to use our containers for picking and check in when you arrive.
Please note that we will be using the same system as previous years; you may choose from a quart, a small pail or a large pail for blueberry picking. The price is set per container volume. Please check out and pay in the stand when you have finished picking.
The deck will be open again and we will have real fruit slushies and other local refreshments to enjoy.
gooseberries
These berries are like sour grapes—or sweet & sour grapes. The green variety is sweeter than the red variety, and the pink are somewhere in between. Many cook with them but our staff love them raw the best! They have thorns, so pick carefully. Gooseberries crop from mid through late July only and are not an August fruit.
red currants
These jewel-like berries are strongly tart-sweet so add a kick to salads, pies, tarts, summer puddings and other baked berry treats. They are often used atop cheesecakes, and in jellies and sauces for meats. Red currants crop from mid through late July. These berries are a July fruit only.
black currants
Black currants are extraordinarily high in vitamin C, other essential nutrients, and have a strong, unique, earthy flavor that is excellent in pies, jams, jellies and mixed drinks. They pair fantastically with raspberries in jam and sorbets!
These berries are a July fruit only.
Blueberries
We have 12 acres of cultivated blueberries. Our varieties include: Earliblue, Blue Crop, Blue Ray, Collins, Berkeley, Elliot, Coville, Nelson, and Brigitta. One or more of these varieties will be ripe from mid-July to mid-September.
raspberries
Raspberries usually crop from mid-July until late July/early August.
Tips for Picking
Bring a belt so you can loop your bucket handle through it, allowing both hands free to pick berries.
Bring a hat, sunscreen, and water. There is very little shade once you are in the field.
You must pick berries into our buckets – lined with perforated bags (so they can breathe). You may bring trays or large containers to tip them into after you pay if you so desire.
If it is a wet day bring a raincoat as the bushes will remain wet. Plan to dry your berries off in front of a fan & on a layer of paper towels before you store them.
Please no smoking or pets on the property, thank you for your understanding.
