Friday picking

If you get out early, before the heat sets in for the day, you can get some really nice berries.  We'll be open Friday, July 1 from 7:30 until 12 noon!

July is National Blueberry month!  Celebrate by getting a bucket of fresh picked berries that you can freeze and enjoy all winter long when the hot days of July are long gone!

Thursday Picking

The farm will be  open for picking Thursday evening from 5-8pm.  It's going to be hot so please
come prepared with water, hats, etc.

We still have plenty of berries so there's no reason not get your supply....especially before the Fourth of July!

Wednesday picking

There are still some good berries but you'll have to look a little harder for them than at the beginning
of the season.  Don't let that stop you though because you can still get a great bucket of berries.  There
are many more that are ripening so the supply will last a couple more weeks.
The Late Blue's are ripening and should be ready in a week or so.  We'll let you know.

Wednesday, June 29th we'll be picking from 7:30 until 12.

It's going to be hot so be sure to bring water and a hat!

Monday

All this sun and heat is good for something..........it ripens berries!
Monday June 27 we will be picking from 7:30 until 12 noon.

The Fourth of July is right around the corner.  Don't forget to get some
fresh blueberries for the occasion.

Saturday picking and more!

Yes, you can still get fresh picked blueberries. No, you haven't missed the 2011 season.
Yes, the farm will be open for picking Saturday June 25 from 7:30 until 12.

Okay, we need to discuss number 27 on the "List of things you can do with blueberries".  I'm in the mood to discuss this one because it's easy and today is Friday and all things on Friday's need to be easy.  Easy sets you up for a great weekend so here we go.
This is cheesecake with blueberry sauce.  As anyone knows blueberry cheesecake will be a hit no matter who you serve it to so this is a no brainer when faced with "What will I serve for dessert?"

If you want Easy Peezy Lemon Squeezy then purchase a frozen cheesecake and take it from there.
Top your purchased, or homemade, cheese cake with the following sauce:

BLUEBERRY SAUCE

1/2  cup sugar
2 Tbs. cornstarch
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup blueberries--fresh or frozen
1/2 tsp. lemon juice

In medium saucepan combine sugar and cornstarch.
Add water and blueberries.  Cook and stir over medium heat until thick and bubbly.
Cook and stir 2 minutes more.  Stir in lemon juice.
You can mash the berries for a little thicker sauce but leave some whole.
Allow sauce to cool before spooning over cheesecake slices.

Sit back and enjoy the raves!  But, don't tell anyone how simple it was!

Enjoy the weekend...........

Thursday picking

The farm will be open Thursday June 23 from 5-8pm.
There are still a lot of great berries left to pick so be sure you don't miss out.

Most frequently asked question:  "How long does the blueberry season last?"

We usually have berries until mid-July and often to the end of July.  Of course that depends on
how many berries are picked and how many berry loving critters show up.  Last year we had
a large population of bugs (June beetles, Japanese beetles, wasps) move in at the end of July and
we had to close.

Open Wednesday

What does low humidity and temps in the 80's mean???  It'll be a good hair day!
Really.
But, it also means conditions are good for picking berries.  None of that sweating going on.

Tomorrow looks like another great day to pick.  Before the humidity climbs back up and your
hair goes to frizz.
Come out tomorrow morning.  We'll be open from 7:30 until 12 noon.

Open Wednesday

It was a great evening for picking berries.  A storm moved through and we had to call people out of the field but it soon passed and picking resumed.  Our policy is "better safe than sorry" when it comes to lightening.  But, temps were cooler than they have been so that made for some nice berry picking.

The farm will be open for picking Wednesday morning from 7:30 until 12 noon.

We have lots of frozen berries that were picked fresh this season and have been sorted for stems, leaves, bugs etc. 

Can't wait to see you at the farm!

Hope to see you soon!
