The crop is starting to ripen up. With this week’s forecasted heat, we should start to see some more blue in the fields.

We hope to open our U Pick Blueberry season up on Monday, August 3rd. The frost took a toll on the crop but some survived. Stay tuned for more details and use up the frozen berries in your freezer to make room for this year's berries in the mean time.
