Another wonderful blueberry season in the books 🫐💙 Our family has been growing blueberries for generations—over 50 years! We work hard to keep this special tradition going and your continued support means so much.
If you enjoyed your blueberries this season, we’d be so grateful if you took a moment to leave us a review. And if you’ve been picking with us for many years, we’d especially love to hear from you! Tell us how long you’ve been coming or share a memory. We love hearing the stories of how our farm has become a part of your summers over the years.
Thank you again to everyone who came out and supported us this season. We hope you enjoy the rest of your summer🫐☀️💙

If you see our farm kitty, Whisper, around, be sure to thank her for doing her part to keep the birds out of the blueberries! (When she's not catching up on her beauty sleep, of course. 😸🫐)
