(UPDATED: June 19, 2010)
A visitor writes on June 26, 2009: "Today (June 26), I made my yearly trip up the coast to pick blueberries at Brewer's. I've been to a few different farms - some a lot closer - but theirs is the best and they are the nicest people, too. They make you feel like you're a friend, not just a customer. In all my 7 years of picking there, I have never seen such huge berries on their bushes!!! They are so full with big, fat, juicy and sweet berries that the limbs are bending down. It took me three hours, but I was able to pick and choose the most perfect fruits. The prices are so reasonable - $7.50 for five quarts. Already I've eaten so many that my tongue is purple/black like a Chow! **I do want to mention for people that haven't been there that the left turn you take to get on Lewis Fraser from Hwy 84 pops up on you very quickly. The road is even kind of angled away from the main road and not marked very well. If you set your odometer from the I-95 underpass, it's approx 8.6 miles.
A visitor writes on June 3, 2008: "They are still selling blueberries at $1.00 a quart from mid June to mid-July. The man I talked to was exceptionally nice, gave me better directions for driving from my area to his, and called me back to tell me about other U-pick farms that I might want to check out if we come up there. (It will be a 70 mile drive to their farm.) When I told him I’d be coming with my children, he told me to make sure that they got a chance to feed the sheep and bunnies before they left. Just a very nice man!"
A visitor writes on June 16, 2008: "Mr and Mrs Brewer are just the nicest people! Even though we no longer live in Liberty County, we still make the 3 hour trip each year for our blueberries and Christmas trees. They encourage you to eat as much as you want while picking and will even give you a lesson on the finer points of berry "tickling!" At Christmas time they even have hay rides and visits from Santa for the kids. Their prices are very reasonable and they're always very helpful."

It is a pick your own "farm". He has blonde/white muscadines but also has black and they are so delicious and look like small plums..Mr Williams says these are the best for jams, jellies and canning. The vines are raised up almost to shoulder level and easy to pick. The ground around the vines is really clean and not weedy. Very easily accessible to pick. If you have younger children--they can be helpful as they can go under and pick from the underside of the vines where a grown-up can't bend down too well...say elementary aged children. Mr Williams was so very helpful and wanted to add him to the list as I didn't see it listed and he ran an ad in the local paper, that's how I found him. "

Home Canning KitsThis is the same type of standard canner that my grandmother used to
make everything from applesauce to jams and jellies to tomato and
spaghetti sauce. This complete kit includes everything you need and lasts
for years: the canner, jar rack, jar grabber tongs, lid lifting wand, a
plastic funnel, labels, bubble freer, and the bible of canning, the Ball
Blue Book. It's much cheaper than buying the items separately. You'll
never need anything else except jars & lids (and the jars are reusable)!
There is also s simple kit with just the canner and rack, and a pressure
canner, if your want to do vegetables (other than tomatoes). To see
more canners, of different styles, makes and prices, click here! |
