I found this blueberry farm on pickyourown.org. It had no website, but I called, and after talking to the very sweet 80-something-year-old owner, I knew I was going to have an adventure.
This is no Wiard's Orchard-style farm experience. It's a rustic little farm, with a bunny and chickens running loose in the yard. You drive right up to the house and knock (signs will point you to the correct door) and they'll come out and show you where to go. I had a very relaxing trek through some huge blueberry patches. I didn't have to climb through a lot of brush - there were plenty of berries on the outside of the rows - but I did anyway because that's where I found spots that were completely untouched. It was pretty quiet except for the birds and my companion. The berries were huge and sweet, and the price was way lower than I expected.
The owners have 50 years experience growing blueberries, and they're happy to share that experience, as well as a few stories of life on the farm. After meeting them, I felt really good about supporting this local business. If you have a sense of adventure, enjoy talking to interesting people, have some sturdy shoes and some bug spray, get out there! Go give them your money! read more
