Morning Pick is 8 – 11 AM and Evening Pick is 6 – 9 PM

It’s berry season!

Rain-washed berries, ripe and ready to pick, are about as fresh as you can get. Make yourself and your friends & family feel special by hand-picking dessert! Blueberries are nutritious, delicious, and plentiful right now. Our blueberries and blackberries are grown with organic practices and are not sprayed with any pesticides. We have way more blueberries than blackberries, so if you want to snag the blackberries you have to come early.

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.)

How it works

We provide a bucket and liner. The berries are plentiful and a dream to pick. 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 $15 per bucket whether you pick blueberries, or blackberries, or a combination. So all you have to do is show up.

We hope to see you soon. Berry season is always too short so don’t wait!

Great Opening Day

Beautiful opening day turnout

Thank you to all the beautiful folks that picked rain-washed blueberries on Tuesday! Opening day was great with the weather cooperating. It was not too hot, not too sunny, and not raining – although it was still a little wet from previous showers. (see next pick information below!)

Next Pick

Would you like to get some farm-fresh berries that are high in antioxidants too? We have more blueberries and blackberries ripening every day. (plentiful blueberries, early-birds get the blackberries).
Our next pick day is Thursday, June 9th, 2022. Morning pick is 8AM – 11AM and Evening pick is 6PM – 9PM
We are open on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays in June while the berries are ripe.

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. It’s 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… or maybe boots if it continues to rain.

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!
