Blueberry U Pick is back!

Hi everyone!

 

My egg family members already received this memo – part of the family membership perks!  They have first dibs on harvest opportunities and all kinds of goodies on the farm.  I have room for a few harvest hands if you’re interesting in stocking up on organic blueberries.  The harvest will last as long as the crop does – no timetable.   Below are the details:

Blueberry U Pick

This is our bulk harvest time and an opportunity for you to harvest organic blueberries with your very own hands.  Use some for fresh eating and tuck away a bunch to keep you supplied all winter.

These are my very BEST blueberries.  Lately, I've been picking 5 lbs in 1/2 hr.  Very nice bushes and easy to pick.

A minimum of (5) U pickers are needed on any day (time efficiency and harvesting) with a maximum of 10 per day.

Wear comfortable clothing, closed toed shoes, bring sun protection, hat, stool to sit on, water, etc.

Children that are helping adults harvest and are older than 8 yrs old are a good fit for blueberry picking.  Younger children and babies find it hard to endure and are more comfortable doing something way more fun at home.

Minimum harvest qty per person or group (2 adults) is 5 lbs.  The cost is $35/$7 per lb.  I will have harvesting boxes for everyone to use.  You will need to bring your own container to transport berries home in. 

Harvest days are:         all dates subject to change based on harvest/ripening, I may contact you to start earlier if the weather will be HOT!

 

starting at 9AM sharp and ending no later than 11AM                    


Tuesday 7/24   

Thursday 7/26
Sunday 7/29
Friday 8/3

 

My goal is bring a larger group to the field with me, harvest along with you folks, and bring the entire group back.  I estimate 1 hr to pick 5 lbs for 1 person or 2 (enjoying the process) adults.

Park in the driveway (nose of vehicle facing wooden fence/horses).  The group leaves at 9AM sharp.  Please plan to be here at least 5 minutes early.  If you miss the group move down to the field you'll need to reschedule your day.  I won't be able to come back up for you as I will be harvesting as well.  No one is allowed to walk unaccompanied thru the field without permission (lots of critters and gates).

 

Looking forward to having harvest company!!!  Tag me back quick if you’re interested since I have limited space.

 

Cheers!
