Blueberries
Our Blueberries are 100% U-pick, we do no commercial production so all of the berries on our plants are yours, no scrap picking! We have a whooping total of 8 varieties of southern highbush blueberries all chosen for their quality and U-Pick characteristics. Needless to say, you're not going to find these varieties at your local grocery store! Our field was planted in early 2013 and most of the plants are nearing that perfect size for picking.
*Update Spring 2018- we just completed a planting of Rabbiteye Blueberries. They might be considered the 'old fashioned' blueberries that have been grown in the south for 100 years. They are heavier producers and will take our blueberry season into July!
All commercial and most U-pick blueberry operations in Florida spray Hydrogen Cyanamide on their plants to induce early and more uniform ripening, unfortunately it is quite the nasty chemical for humans and the environment. We do not use such chemicals. What that means to us is a little bit later and little bit longer harvest period. What this means to you is safer and less expensive fruit!
