blueberry farms that is still open for the 2012 season as of 5/27/2012. The
owner told us they got a second crop and will be open for a few more weeks.
After making dozens of phone calls, we finally found this place that was
still open for u-pick - the warm weather this year has sped the season up.
There were still plenty of really nice, really big berries. We also picked
goji berries which were a steal at $3.50 lb (about 1/4 of the price for
dried berries in the store). I have never seen fresh goji berries anywhere
else and it was an exciting opportunity to pick them. The owner was very
friendly and helpful. "
