Farm Closing

 Our last day of business is Saturday, July 9, 2022. We have enjoyed your friendships through the years and wish you all the luck in your future. This is a permanent closing on Saturday. (We have aged out!)

All the best,

Robin and Joe

Winter snow in blueberry field,  Jan. 16, 2020.  This happened one year on April 1 and we lost the entire crop because they were in full bloom!!!! Hope to have a full crop this year!!!!

 

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!

 

 Thursday, 3:30 PM

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.

 

You can't have too many buckets at the blueberry farm!!!

                                           Kids having fun in the field using their imagination.

                   Taking a break from picking in the shade on a BEAUTIFUL day
                   at the blueberry farm!!!

                            These ladies drove down from Macon early this morning and did some
                            serious picking!!!
                            We sometimes have customers come from as far away as Birmingham
                            to pick.

                                                   Are we family-friendly or WHAT???
                                          They had a GREAT time in the shade and picking!!

                   LOTS of kids (and moms plus some dads and grandmas and a few granddads)!!
            We were picking all over the field and the berries have recovered from the rain and heat shock.
                  We will be open all week as usual then at least one or more weeks depending upon the weather.

                          Robin had her MCC graduating class out for breakfast and berry picking.

                                               THIS PICKING BLUEBERRIES IS FUN!!!

                                      HEY, I CAN'T REACH ANY BERRIES BACK HERE!!!

Look at those nice blueberry pickin' hats!
We are a great place for kids to "get out on the farm"!

OOPS!! Gotta come back and pick more berries. We ate all those before we got home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
