Week of July 15-19

Whoa!! What a season!

We opened the lower field this week, picking Legacys now and what a turnout! The berries are amazing! Huge, delicious, and silly easy picking! Now, you know I love small berries, and while the Legacys aren't my favorite, I have to say that the Libertys are tasting out of this world this year. They have a nice spiciness, like the Blue Gold, that give them a little extra oomphf. We will likely open the Libertys Saturday, if we can get the field ready. We've been holding off, wanting them to be totally ripe, and knowing that when this happens it means our season is winding down. We hope to have a few more weeks of picking, but this weekend is going to be absolute prime time- all 5 varieties on at one time, and the lower field in the height of ripeness. Get out and get 'em while we've got 'em!!

Heard in the field this week:

"It's like picking grapes!" 
"This was the best blueberry picking of my life!" 
"That was the cleanest portapotty I've ever been in!"
"Wow! Look at that view!"
"Thank you! The kids had so much fun!" 
And, of course:
"You should have weighed us before we started!"

Closing early Friday, July 17 at 4pm. 

We're going to try to close a bit early on Friday, so we can take the kids to the Columbia County Fair. We'll be back at it at 9a on Saturday morning! See you then!!
