On Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays in June, we scheduled Semi-private/Private Picks for those buying more than 3 buckets (3 buckets equals $45). A social distance outing with your group? – or maybe individuals or households who may have a high-risk member, and must be very cautious about any possibility of interaction with other individuals right now, in 2020.
Time slots in 2020 were:
8:00 AM to 9:30 AM,
9:30 AM to 11:00 AM,
6:00 PM to 7:30 PM, and
7:30 PM to 9:00 PM.
You get half of the berry patch and if no one else is signed up you get the whole berry patch to yourselves. (three bucket minimum)
This was in addition to Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday, which were still regular pick days with hours: 8-11 AM and 6-9 PM. (no appointment was necessary on regular pick days)
How to Schedule a semi-private/private pick outing
June-2020: We have designated four time-slots during the best berry-picking times of the day. They are 8:00 AM to 9:30 AM, 9:30 AM to 11:00 AM, 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM, and 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM. If you are interested in taking advantage of this offer, and want to book a time-slot, please call (or text) 706-518-8869 to schedule, and we will accommodate and provide the opportunity for you to pick anti-oxidant rich, nutritious blueberries. You can pick blueberries to eat fresh and also pick some to freeze for the winter months. Your immune system may need a boost later in the year.
We also offer “Berries Ready-to-go”, which are picked to order, rinsed, dried, sorted and bagged blueberries. The price is $25 for a generous 2½ quarts, which is only $10 more than picking them yourself. Please call ahead for Berries Ready-to-go, and get them curbside-style (delivered to your car). These are fresh and picked to order so please call ahead.
Frozen Option
For a few dollars more you can get them IQF (Individually Quick Frozen). The cost for a generous 2½ quarts of IQF berries is $30. IQF means that the berries are quickly frozen individually – and then bagged. This allows you to take them out of the freezer as individual berries! Great for snacking or for measuring for recipes!
Encore berry picking performance! We will be open on Sunday July 3rd to pick. Early pick 6AM – 10AM and Late pick 5PM to 9PM. There are still berries and this mom and daughter team found a lot of both blueberries and blackberries during this last pick. They are also some of our best customers and win the title of most return visits. You know its a good thing when it deserves an encore.
What’s left?
Here is a cutie that couldn’t wait to eat some berries even though her mom was planning to fix a wonderful dessert. Luckily, enough berries made it home to complete this terrific cobbler. Thanks for the photos, Veronica. What a great way to spend the day and to top it all off with cobbler is even better.
Big beautiful smiles were everywhere Sunday at RabbitEye Farm for Opening Day. It was cool in the morning, rained a little in the afternoon, got really humid for a while and then cooled back off later in the day. 
Many folks were avid pickers and got some nice amounts. By the end of the day, the rows were pretty well gleaned of the ripe berries. As you can see from this first picture, there are a lot more berries ripening for Thursday’s pick. The ripening process will continue all month, so there will be plenty for everyone. It is best to come early in the day though.
