YOU PICK AND PRE-PICKED BLACKBERRIES
Berry season is here! Sweet, juicy, thornless blueberries and blackberries are ready for picking at Bolin Grove Farms. Bring the family, make some memories, and take home the taste of summer. Nothing says summer quite like a bucket full of fresh-picked berries. Open Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
PREPARING FOR YOUR FARM VISIT:
Before you visit, remember that Bolin Grove Farms is a working farm, not a park. The ground may be wet or muddy, even on sunny days, so come prepared for a little adventure.
• Wear comfortable shoes that can get dirty
• Bring containers and plan for how many berries you’d like to take home
• Consider how you’ll use your harvest—fresh, frozen, baked, or shared
• Pick only blackberries that are fully black, plump, and come off easily
• Leave red or purple berries to ripen a little longer
• Keep picked berries cool and shaded for the best freshness
We can’t wait to welcome you to the farm for blackberry and blueberry season!
