As soon as the berries are ripe, our members will be coming at their convenience to pick. You, too, can become a member because though memberships are limited, we can comfortably serve a few more this summer.
HOW MUCH DOES A MEMBERSHIP COST? WHAT DO WE GET FOR IT? Membership costs $35 ($30 before July 1). You still pay for your berries by the pound ($3.50/lb) each time you come to pick and there is an honor system and self-service component to membership. But what you get is ACCESS when YOU want to come and a relaxed and peaceful picking experience. (Early evening picking is the BEST. Bring your picnic dinner.)
HOW DOES IT WORK? Those best and most motivated customers know our routines (or can easily learn them). You know where the buckets are. You are willing to operate the scale and record your sale. You feel comfortable roaming the fields to find the berries you like best. You can help yourselves and will leave a check or electronic payment.
What else do I need to know about U-pick?

FRIENDS
Yes! Friends are great! You may bring your friends with you. Anyone who is interested in organic blueberries and supporting small farms is welcome with you. However, your membership is for your household. When you bring guests, you must come when they do and stay at the farm while they are here and show them how we do things. Please let your guests know ahead of time how we accept payment.
