Preparing to Visit
-
We suggest you wear a hat and sunscreen
-
Closed toed shoes are recommended
-
We will provide a bucket for you to pick berries so that we can be sure of consistent weight but recommend you bring a container to take your berries home
-
Our buckets hold between 5-6 lbs when full but we recommend that you only fill a bucket 1/2 - 2/3 full to avoid smashing the berries at the bottom
-
Bottled drinks and snacks are available for purchase in the store
Berry Picking Tips
-
Sunglasses that are not polarized are not recommended as they can make red, underripe berries appear blue or black
-
The ripest blueberries are a deep blue and are easily removed from the stem
-
The ripest blackberries are a dull black, somewhat soft and easily removed from the cane
-
To avoid damaging blackberry canes we recommend rolling the berry off at a 45 degree angle
-
Most importantly, have fun and enjoy!
