Berry Picking

During our fruit picking season please pay close attention to all updates such as picking times and availability. Blueberry picking typically starts mid to late April and will go until fruit is picked out. Blackberries tend to be ready for picking in May and as well will go until they are picked out. In the past we have gone to the second week of June, but fruit production is not in our control. We do highly suggest that you come first thing for picking the berries as we can not guarantee the fields will be open all day.  Both blueberries and blackberries are pick your own and you will pay for what you pick. At this time there is no admission fees to enter our fields to pick, but you will be required to purchase one of our Buskets. The Buskets will be yours to keep and you can return with them for future berry picking. 

​

When arriving to the farm you will be greeted by one of our farm team members and they will guide you through the berry picking process.

We do ask that you please pay attention to the details as each piece of information is important. If you and your family will be joining in on the Farm Funland fun, please pay for all berries before going to play.
