RaspberryblueberriesThe day was terrific from beginning to end even in the rain.

6AM is not too early for some folks, and 9PM is not too late for others. The blackberries went early and so did a lot of the veggies, but there still are a ton of blueberries!  Some even found a few red raspberries. We had so many wonderful visitors even during the rain times!  Yep, its summertime and a little water didn’t stop these folks from having a good time.

Here is a slideshow of photos from our Opening Day 2017:

HandfulMemorial Day marks the beginning of summer fun and 2017 is going to be AWESOME for Blueberry Picking!  Here is a sneak peek at what we are getting already.  Our blueberries are ripening Fast and Furious and are definitely a part of summer fun. It may be that the bushes are more mature or perhaps because of the weather, but they are definitely bigger and more plentiful than last year.  Put RabbitEye Farm Blueberry Pickin’ on your list of June activities!

Our season opening is June 1st and the berries are ready!

We are open for picking “Thursdays and Sundays in June”. (There may be some extra “bonus” days added in too, since it looks like a bumper crop) We will keep you posted both on the website and on facebook.

Morning pick is from 6AM to 10AM and Evening pick is from 5PM to 9PM.  We provide buckets with liners to easily carry your berries home. The sizes are: a generous pint, quart, and 2½ quart pails. Prices are $4.00, $7.00, and $15.00.  (Same as last year.)

PoppiesMelonBerriesHave a Safe and Happy Memorial Day everyone!

Let the summer activities begin!

Feasting on fresh Blueberries and Blackberries is a part of summer fun and picking them yourself makes them the freshest berries possible. Our blueberries are ripening slightly ahead of the blackberries, but both will be ready Thursday, June 1st. This “May rain” will insure they are plump and juicy and ready for you.

We grow our berries with organic practices on grassy terraces, so they have no pesticides and are easy to pick.  The blueberry bushes are a little taller than last year, but are still easy for all sizes to reach. We suspect some of you are taller too!  We look forward to seeing you. Our blackberries are also thornless so they are easier to pick than wild ones.

Parking is plentiful – shade is readily available as well as restroom facilities.  Plan ahead for FATHER’S DAY (Sunday, June 18th) – Berry picking makes a great “kid-led” activity.
