The blueberries are in full bloom and the pollinators are busy at their work. After loosing 90% of our 2020 crop to a late freeze last May, we are really looking forward to blueberry season this summer, and are hoping for an abundant crop to fill lots of mouths and freezers! We’ll keep you posted as we approach the beginning of our harvest in early June.

We are disappointed to announce that our blueberry season has already ended. Due to a late freeze we had a very small crop, and we are so sorry that we didn’t have enough berries for everyone to get their fill this year. Thanks to everyone who did come out to pick, we really appreciate you being understanding of the circumstances. We are hoping for a bumper crop in 2021. See you then!

Due to a hard freeze in mid-May our 2020 blueberry crop will be starting later than usual. Our earliest varieties, which had already set little green berries when temperatures dropped to 23° F on May 10, have been the hardest hit and will not produce fruit this year. Our mid-season and late varieties were still in bloom at the freeze, and suffered less damage. It is difficult to anticipate the size of our crop at this time, so please stay posted for more updates to come as the berries ripen. We do expect to have U-pick opportunities as well as limited quantities of pre-picked berries starting in late June and lasting through mid-July.
