Maine Blueberries

2008 Days and Hours of Operation
Our regular picking days are Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Our hours are 10:00 am until 2:00 p.m.

Last year we had to reduce our picking to three days a week, closing on Sunday, because of the very heavy picking pressure we had and the need to let the berries ripen between picking days. We're going to try opening four days a week this year at the beginning of the season to see how it goes, but if we start getting picked out at the end of the days on Saturday we may have to shut down on Sundays again - we'll give you plenty of warning if this becomes necessary.

We have tried to make your PYO outing a pleasant one. There is plenty of parking close to the berries, and the lanes between the highbush blueberries are kept mowed for easy access. You'll find picnic tables in the shade under the trees, and you and your family and friends are encouraged to bring a picnic lunch and enjoy a day outing with us. Summer cabin full of visitors? Bring them on an outing that everyone will enjoy - and you will end up with a freezer full of blueberries from their efforts!

Bring your own containers, or borrow our picking buckets that we have at the farm stand. When you are done picking, we have free plastic bags to bring your blueberries home in, or you may purchase quart containers. We also have ready picked fruit in the cooler that you may purchase if you don't have time to pick your own.

At the farm stand we have blueberry crafts, blueberry jams and syrup, water and soft drinks on sale. For your convenience we also have a water tap and a porta-potty on site.

2007 Prices
Pick Your Own Blueberries are $1.50/pound
(there are 1 1/2 to 2 pounds of fresh blueberries in a quart)
Ready Picked Blueberries are $6.00/quart when available
