Closed for the Season
Sunday August 7, was the last day of the
2022 season.
All picking seasons eventually come to an end.
For a number of different reasons we have
decided that time is now. Many of you have asked
"what happens to the berries that don't get
picked". Well, in the next few days the netting
will be removed allowing the birds unlimited
access, in addition to the other creatures that
burrow under the fence. Some will eventually
fall to the ground. Within a few weeks the
bushes will be empty and the ground will be
clean. It happens every year like magic.
We sincerely
Thank You for your support this year
and in the many previous years. Bill & Debbie
We supply picking containers of various
sizes, as in previous years, and bags to carry
your berries home. If you prefer to use your own
containers, we encourage you to bring them to
the field.
We have 7 different varieties of berries planted
in a total of 22 rows. Listed
in the order they ripen, from early in the
season until late, they are; Duke, Reka,
Patriot, Blueray, Bluecrop, Bluegold and
Chandler.
Our goal this year, as in all our previous years
is to be open as many days as possible
throughout the season. For those new to the
Farm, our picking season is essentially the
month of July. If the crop conditions are just
right, the picking might extend into the first
week of August. Our picking schedule is entirely
dependent on the supply of ripe berries. We keep
a close watch on the crop, and decide in the
afternoon whether or not we'll be open the
following day. This website and our Facebook
page are updated every evening with that
information. We are always closed on Monday.
However, if we have a good supply of berries,
(for everyone) we'll be open the remaining six
days. We work very hard to provide a pleasant
experience to everyone who visits the Farm. It's
not an exact science. Please keep that in mind.
"What variety produces
the sweetest berry" is a question we're often
asked. Blueberries do not develope their full
flavor as soon as they
turn blue. At that point it's best to wait
another few days to a week befor picking. Look at the
blueberries all the way around and under to be
sure they are completely blue. The more blue the
berry, the riper and sweeter it should be.
Please check this website and Facebook for daily picking information, or call the farm at 508-234-9859. We strongly recommend that you verify we are open before making
a trip down to the farm.
Mother nature and the number of customers determine how
many berries are available on any given day.
The area for our blueberry field is approx. 1 acre. We now have a total of
1025 bushes, made up of the following varieties: Duke, Reka,
Patriot, Blueray, Bluecrop, Bluegold
and Chandler.
These varieties were selected in part to extend our
picking season, since they ripen at
different times during the summer.
