The berry season here usually starts early or mid-June, but you’ll want to keep an eye on the social media pages of all these farms as picking availability is highly dependent on the weather!
A few tips for berry picking:
- Take cash with you in case they don’t take credit cards
- Most places offer a variety of fruits and vegetables in addition to blueberries
- Wear close-toed shoes in case the terrain is muddy
- Take sunscreen, bug spray, and a hat
- Do a quick check on the berry farms social media pages before visiting in case they are closed or out of berries for the season
