Surprisingly, there are three blueberry varieties that are still producing plenty of berries. With this heat though, they won’t last long. Don’t miss out. RabbitEye Farm, West Point, GA

The rain plan for anyone interested in picking blueberries is to just call before you want to come out. So, the NEW hours are that Sunday through Thursday, you can now plan your pick at your convenience anytime (and between thunder storms), but please call ahead and we will do our best to accommodate your arrival. Phone: 706-518-8869.

Here are some more happy blueberry enthusiasts. They didn’t wait too late and neither should you!

Thank you to everyone who came out.

An unbelievable year

It is rare that blueberry season will last into July, but here we are! It makes a great family outing and picking them is a breeze. (More photos below) So, Happy Fourth of July Week! You can make blueberry jelly, blueberry wine, blueberry juice, canning, freezing, dehydrating – so many possibilities. This is a special week with special pricing. So come on out (see schedule) and just look at this photo:

Freezing is easy

You will thank yourself later for thinking ahead and freezing some blueberries while they are so bountiful. A blueberry cobbler makes any holiday a bit more special. Frozen blueberries make a wonderful cobbler, and no thawing is necessary! No kidding, use them straight from the freezer into your recipe. What a life-saver for a last minute dessert.

Happy Pickers

Here are a few snapshots of some happy pickers:

How it works

We provide a bucket and liner. (We keep the bucket), You keep the liner to gently carry your berries home. It’s that easy! The bucket size is a generous two and a half quarts and the price is $20 per bucket. (Second bucket is only $10 this Fourth-of-July week!!) 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.

Blueberry season doesn’t last forever, and in a normal year its only the month of June. So this is your chance to grab some blueberries for your Fourth of July celebration, and/or for your freezer. You’ll thank yourself this winter.
