WELCOME TO THE FARM
WHEN YOU ARRIVE:
Pull in slowly. Watch for oncoming cars and children.
​
Follow directions to one of our grassy lots. Note: on busy days you may be directed to the South Field or North Field parking lots. We do this to distribute guests across the fields and to provide the easiest access to the best berries!
​
Step up to the nearest farm stand to check in.
​
Choose a bucket for everyone in your group. We have several sizes, including buckets for kids. You can pay for all your berries at once but make sure everyone has their own bag. This makes for some friendly competition at "weigh-out" at the end!
​
WHEN YOU'RE DONE:
​
When you've filled up (or tired out), tie up your bag of delicious berries and head to any of the farm stands to weigh and pay. ** We accept credit cards or cash payments ** You can pick up other goodies and gift at the farm stands, too!
​
OTHER TIPS FOR A GOOD TIME:
​
-
Bring extra water (we sell some drinks at the stands, too)
-
Wear bug spray and sunscreen. Stay safe!
-
Wear closed toe or good walking shoes. The aisles are mowed but the surfaces are uneven.
-
Strollers are possible, but a rugged one is suggested!
-
No dogs are allowed - aww, sorry. We love them, too, but they can't join us.
-
No smoking or vaping please.
-
We have two port-a-pottys on site near the main farm stand.
-
Always do a "tick check" following a visit to the farm, as you would after visiting any outdoor, grassy location.
Come back soon!

-
Can my dog come along?Our food safety regulations prevent having dogs in or around the blueberry fields. If your pup is with you, we are happy to make accommodations for shady parking or an adjacent field for a potty break!
-
Do you spray the blueberries?Yes, as needed to maintain the health and productivity of the blueberry bushes. We always devote the majority of our energy to basic plant health care practices to optimize the health of the bushes, such as pruning and weeding. Our careful decisions about plant health care products for our blueberry plants come down to what would we would feel safe using around our own children and pets and what products we feel safe applying ourselves. We are NOT organic although we may, at times, choose organic products. We work closely with UNH Cooperative Extension and other consultants to advise on the most effective products and safest practices.
-
Should I wash my blueberries before eating them?We always recommend giving them a rinse just before eating!
-
How should I store my blueberries when I get home?It is best to immediately refrigerate unwashed berries. We recommend eating up your berries within a day or two of your visit to the farm and, if you picked many pounds, pop them in the freezer for longer term storage. Berries should NOT be rinsed before freezing - you can rinse the thawed berries when you're ready to use.
-
What varieties of blueberries do you grow?We have four primary varieties: BlueCrop, BlueRay, Northland and Patriot. There are a few other types in the mix as well. We recently learned of a fifth variety, Collins, that is interspersed. The varieties ripen at slightly different times and each one is a little different flavor. Here is a breakdown: Bluecrop are classically sweet, firm berries. This variety is considered the best all around for adaptability, long production period, high yield fruit and disease resistance. Bluecrop is perhaps the most widely planted variety in the U.S. They're good for eating fresh, preserves, baking, and freezing. Ericaceae Vaccinium corymbosum Blueray is a very large, classic blueberry. Blueray performs particularly well in areas with hot summers or very cold winters, and produces high quality berries with outstanding dessert flavor. Ericaceae Vaccinium corymbosum Northland is known for super sweet medium sized berries that are great for baking or eating fresh. Ericaceae Vaccinium corymbosum Patriot blueberries are large, delicately sweet flavored berries. Patriot is often selected by home gardeners who desire a cold-hardy variety that bears consistent crops. Patriot's low growing bush reflects its partial lowbush parentage.
