  The rains we got yesterday burst many berries and lowered the quality of the remaining fruit. We have decided to end the season today. Thanks for your business this year and we hope to see you next year.

   We still have berries!! There are several pockets of easily picked berries. There is a pretty good chance of rain tomorrow after lunch so come early. We will be open next week as usual (by appointment on Monday-Wed. and regular picking Thurs.-Sat.) but may run out of berries before the weekend.

THANKS

A 3 generation family group effort Saturday made short work of these berries!!! AND, it was a lot of fun!! We will probably still have berries for 2-3 weeks. Hope to see you soon.  Joe and Robin

 

We had an unexpected guest at the farm today: "Jerry the Bearded Dragon" who went out in the field clinging on his friends shirt!  Then he came up to the  blueberry stand and showed off by balancing a blueberry on his nose!!   Picking will be fantastic tomorrow but come early to beat the heat!

Well, we have had a steady flow of customers today including a lot

of hard working kids. The picture shows two families' kids after

picking a lot of berries and notice the smiles. They had a great time!!!!!!

Plenty of berries left for tomorrow and Saturday.    

A customer shared the following email with us after picking Friday:

 So today I took the old family berry picking bucket out to Johnson Blueberry farm at Suqualena to pick berries. this bucket is over 100 years old and has always been the preferred bucket for berry picking

Thank you. Picking was great today. I hope the bucket lasts another 100 years.

 

 More Covid related information:  For the safety all who come pick berries we are asking that you "socially distance" yourself from people you didn't come with.  It's poor etiquette to pick right in the same area anyway!!  For the safety of your children we will not be offering colors and books and toys.  You may bring some to entertain your children if needed.  We will also be dispensing water for you if you do not bring your own and are thirsty.  Hand sanitizer will be available at the blueberry stand.  It would be a good idea to use it before you go out to pick.  We are doing all we can to keep you safe.  We ask that you refrain from bringing your pets with you, as they will not be allowed in the orchards.
