Preparing to Pick
Picking blueberries can be an enjoyable experience for all ages and is a fun family activity. There is something exciting about picking fresh, ready-to-eat berries! (Fortunately, we do not weight our customers before or after your visit, so feel free to eat as many as you want as you pick). Think of all the delicious treats you can make with the fresh blueberries you pick, or consider filling your freezer to enjoy our fruit all year long!

Storing Blueberries
Do not wash blueberries that you intend to freeze. For longer lasting fruit, refrigerate dry berries as soon as possible which should store for 10-14 days. To freeze dry berries, place in a freezer zip-lock and rinse before using. Your frozen berries make for tasty treats all winter and provide a sweet reminder of warm summertime!
