Our goal is always to provide the best berries possible! One way to accomplish this goal is to have people pick out rows, one by one. That way the next person always has an abundance of berries to pick.
Our Harvest Guides are responsible for getting the entire field picked and keep track of what still needs to be picked. By asking where to go you enable our Guides to keep track of where needs to be picked and what is now finished for the day.
Yes! However, strollers must stay out of the rows and wide aisles. Ask staff for assistance so you are assigned to a stroller-friendly picking location.
We have porta-potties located in the field and full facilities at the end of the Farm Store building.

How to Pick Blueberries
- Use care to pick berries that are ripe and BLUE all the way around. Not purple or green, those berries are still ripening. The last place a blueberry ripens is at the stem.
- Please pick one berry at a time, do not grab handfuls or rake berries off the bush
- Place your box under the bush to catch falling berries
- Remember to look high, low, and deep in the bush for hidden berries.
- Pick ALL ripe berries from one bush (your assigned bush) before moving to a new one. It is very important to get a clean harvest when we pick. This ensures proper ripening for the next harvest, helps us manage our field rotation, and is crucial for our pest management control.
- Keep strollers and wagons to the side of walk aisles.
- Fruit storage tips- Separate large quantities of fruit into smaller containers. Refrigerate fruit. Use or freeze within 3-4 days for best quality
