WELCOME TO SUNBURST BLUEBERRIES!

It's been a very busy week since we opened on July 4th. A lot of berries have been picked. The Farm will be closed until Thursday morning to allow more of the berries to ripen. We hope to see you then. Bill & Debbie

 We do not charge an admission or entrance fee. Pick as much or as little as you wish. Depending on whether it's early or late in the season, we may suggest picking in limited rows, but we do not assign bushes.

The farm provides different size containers to use for picking, but you are certainly welcome to bring your own if you prefer. The berries are sold by weight, not by volume.

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 are; Duke, Reka, Patriot, Blueray, Bluecrop, Bluegold and Chandler.

 

Our goal this year, as in all our previous years is to provide a safe and friendly environment for all ages. 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 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.
