2024 Blueberry Season Begins

Blueberry Season Begins

It’s Official – Blueberry season begins!

How refreshing to finally see a great mass of blueberries at the end of May! It has been several years since we’ve seen blueberries in May. This year, in 2024, the berries are beautiful, and the bushes are loaded.

Overview of our schedule

We will open Wednesday, May 29th, 2024 for a morning pick only (no evening pick). Then our normal days and hours will start the following day – on Thursday, May 30th with both a morning and an evening pick. We will keep our regular days of Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays with the normal morning and evening picks. PLUS, we will be adding some days according to how the ripening progresses.

Wednesday, May 29th – Morning Pick 8 AM to 11 AM (before it gets hot) No evening pick on this day.

We will be open these days with both
a Morning Pick 8 AM to 11 AM, and Evening Pick 6 PM to 9 PM
Thursday May 30th
Sunday, June 2nd
Tuesday, June 4th

If you have a large group, please call (706) 518-8869 and we will try to accommodate your schedule.

How it works

We provide a bucket and liner. You keep the liner to gently carry your berries home. It’s that easy! The bucket size is two and a half quarts and the price is $20 per bucket. So all you have to do is show up… best if you wear a hat.

Do you spray your plants?

No. Our berries are grown with organic practices and are not sprayed with any pesticide. The only thing we put on our berry plants is rain, and when it doesn’t rain, we water them with spring water.

What if it rains?

Our pick days are rain or shine. The berries are definitely fresh, rain-washed is a bonus! If Mother Nature sends some rain… its a great chance to wear your boots. (Picking in the rain has proven to be more fun than you would think.)

Blueberry Update Mid-May

May Update

Blueberry News

We never know when the blueberries will be ready for picking but everything this year, in 2024, is looking great! There are some indications that even point toward the season starting a little early (maybe). June is the typical berry month, but we may need to start picking toward the end of May if the days get hot. Here are a few photos taken just this morning… in the rain.

Looking Good

So far, it looks like we are going to have a record year! Oh my goodness, wouldn’t that be wonderful? It would almost make up for the past two years. Mother Nature is in charge though. And we are thankful for such a mild spring. The conditions have been nearly perfect and you can see the results.

We will post again as these pink and green blueberries ripen.
