Get your antioxidants the easy way!
Head to Jones Family Farm for some mid-summer blueberry picking. The fun started last week and usually lasts well into August.
Harvesting hours:
Tuesday - Saturday

Closed Sundays and Mondays
(Call Crop Line for daily updates on hours and picking locations as they can change daily depending on weather/crop.)
The Very Merry Berry Ferry will deliver you to the field, but be prepared to walk to where the best picking is in the field. Bring a hat and sunscreen for the sunny days.
