There are a lot of fun activities for kids such as inflatables, rides, animal interactions, etc. so it’s a fun full day
 | It’s summer and there are no shades in the field. Bring a hat, sunscreen, and lots of water. Dress light and have boots or shoes that can be washed easily. It is going to be dirty and kids are going to have fun squeezing blueberries and have some there themselves. Bring some wipes and sanitizers as kids are going to go for animal interactions and can get their hands dirty quite often. Extra water, sanitizers, and wipes are going to be handy |
There is general admission fees. When you get to the field, grab baskets from the counter that is designated before walking through the field to pick. Upon returning to the farm entrance, the bags are checked for calculating the total and payment.
The ripe blueberries are dark blue and can be found mostly in lower branches too. So for the kids, it’s easy and for the adults, there are enough in the higher inner branches. Upon reaching home, the refrigeration of blueberries is best without washing
Upon return, around the entrance of the farm, there is a market to visit where a lot of fresh vegetables, local products, and bakery items can be purchased.
After a long day in the field, a nice way to unwind with fresh-made coffee, cakes, and other savories is in the cafe near the entrance before heading to parking.
