Three days a week – Three weeks of berry picking starts now – June 7th
Welcome to summer blueberry picking 2022! It’s a short season, but the blueberries are ripening fast with huge “first fruits.” Rabbiteye Farm will be open for blueberry picking TUESDAYS, THURSDAYS, and SUNDAYS beginning Tuesday, June 7th! Morning picks are 8AM – 11AM and Evening picks are 6PM – 9PM.
Summertime is definitely here and you can taste it in the berries! If you’ve never picked blueberries before, look for the biggest and darkest blue berries like the ones on the left, and more will continue to ripen each day.
Blueberries are “SmileBerries!” Both the smiles and the blueberries are wonderful. (We grow our berries with organic practices and do not use any pesticides.)
2022 blueberries are taste-tested and approved for picking beginning June 7th!
What do you need to bring?
We supply a bucket with a liner. You pick your berries into this bucket and then gently lift out the liner, we also supply a twist tie, and you carefully carry your berries home. Easy! The size of the bucket is a generous 2 & a half quarts and the price is $15. We take cash and PayPal. So the only “equipment” you may want to bring is a hat.
When does it get hot?
It starts getting hot around 10:30AM, that’s why our morning pick hours are from 8 – 11AM. It’s beautiful picking early in the morning. In the evening, if its sunny, shade begins on the berries around 6PM and picking is great by 7PM. That’s why our evening pick hours are from 6 – 9PM. We are rain or shine.
What about Blackberries?
June 7th is still a little early for our blackberries, but you may find a few that are ripe. Both blueberries and blackberries can be picked in the same bucket. The price is the same.
Three weeks of berry picking starts June 7th.
Our pick days are every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday with regular morning and evening pick hours on those days. We hope to see you this season! Thank goodness the berries are finally ripening!
