Hillside Blueberries

Hillside Blueberries 2020 Season
announcing soon with adjusted protocols for Coronavirus.

As we will be practicing social distancing, picking will be by appointment only in 5 lb., 10 lb. and 25 lb. guaranteed time slots and with 4 picking mornings available to start. Please be advised there will be a slight price increase and masks and gloves will be required to enter and exit the field, pick fruit and check out. For safety reasons we will no longer accept cash or checks or provide a public restroom. All payments will be processed through "Square" and all sign-ups will be through e-mail.

It is my goal to keep all of us safe and virus free while still offering fruit for sale in 2020. I ask that you please work with me and be patient as I try to navigate a win win in our new normal. Until then I wish each and every one of you and your families continued health and well being and I look forward to seeing you soon.

Thanks For Picking Us

We have two berry varieties for your eating enjoyment: Spartans and Nelsons. The Spartans are a large, delicious, and very sweet berry generally ready to pick early July - weather permitting. The Nelson variety usually ripens about a month later and lasts until mid August. These berries are also quite tasty with a more complex flavor.

We always close during the heat of the day to ensure the highest quality fruit for our customers. When the sun warms the fruit, the berries sweat and spoil quickly. We encourage our pickers to allow the berries to rest somewhere cool before refrigerating or freezing to minimize sweating.

We are a chemical and pesticide-free farm.
