With blueberries in season, and a rare free day on the weekend, a friend and I ventured out to Harmony Farms for the first time for some fresh, pick-your-own blueberries. Easy to find via GPS, there is a small parking area right next to the farm's fields in North Scituate.
There's a small stand where you prepay a pint at $6, a fee that is deducted from your final expense when you're done picking. The weekend price is $4.75/lb... cheaper during the week but I can't recall the specifics. Open everyday but Tuesdays and Wednesdays. There's a loyalty program available once you've picked 10lbs of berries (two of us easily picked 6lbs together on a relatively quick visit so it's doable).
The staff were very helpful and explained everything we needed to know to get things started. Three fields were pointed out to us, with the freedom to choose whichever we wanted. It was explained that each blueberry bush was different and to feel free to taste test to find ones we were interested in picking. It didn't take long before we were underway - filling our borrowed buckets with shoulder straps full of berry deliciousness.
Beautiful, peaceful farm for an enjoyable late morning out. It was a somewhat overcast day which made for ideal picking conditions. I'd suggest wearing a sun hat and other sun protection if you're here on a clear day. Quick in and out to pay for what we gathered - very pleasant experience overall. read more
