  • We offer a 2 acre plot of blueberries for you and your loved ones to come and pick your own blueberries.

    We recommend coming in the cool of the morning when its more pleasant to pick and the berries haven’t gotten warm yet, they keep better if they are cool.

  • We offer a heritage variety of blueberries called Elliots, they are known for being big and plump and easy to pick. They are ripe much later in the season than common varieties.

These berries are all cared for by-hand by Brian Parson who doesn’t believe in using pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, or anything else not natural.

  • They are as close to organic as you can get with out the stamp from the government.

    We used to pay for that stamp. We have determined it is cost prohibitive.

    As far as feeding your loved ones organic? Yes they are.

  • We love animals. Because of pets marking territory, especially males, we ask that you keep your pets out of the blueberries. No one wants Blueberries that have been peed on.

    Guests who bring pets are welcome but we ask that you leash them to one of the plum trees with a water bowl so they can relax in the shade while you pick Blueberries.

Why Blueberries?

What to do with your Blueberries?

-Personal favorite, make jam to spread on toast or add to ice cream.

-Freeze in Ziplock bags and pull out anytime you want to add a little extra to any dish. Salads, muffins, pancakes, ice cream, cereal.

What are the health benefits of blueberries?

Blueberries are a nutrition powerhouse offering cardiovascular, cognitive, and cellular health benefits.

-The antioxidants help neutralize free radicals and help protect cells from oxidative stress and DNA damage.

-Lowers blood pressure. Regular consumption improves endothelial function which relaxes blood vessels to naturally lower blood pressure.

-High source of polyphenols which cross the blood brain barrier and directly stimulate brain regions responsible for memory, and focus, delaying cognitive decline.

-Improves insulin sensitivity, the bioactive compounds in the berries help metabolize glucose efficiently, lowering the risk of metabolic spikes and diabetes.

Smoothes muscle recovery. Eating blueberries before or after intense physical activity accelerates muscle repair by blunting local oxidative stress inflammation.

Nourishes the gut microbiome. Their specific prebiotic fibers and polyphenols feed the beneficial gut bacteria, boosting digestion and immune health.

What is the light blue waxy surface that rubs off?

It is a fine coating that the blueberry plant produces as a natural protective layer. It is mostly comprised of ursolic acid which acts mostly as an anti fungal, but it also helps lock in moisture and nutrients, as well as protection from the UV rays of the sun.

This light waxy surface can be rubbed off revealing a much darker berry underneath, but this layer helps keep the berry fresher longer so we don’t recommend it.
