Definitely in the Doldrums
Average amount of berries picked per day are consistently about in the couple-hundred pounds per day but seemingly dropping. It is taking 2+ hours to fill a five-quart ice cream pail. Still lots of berries to get ripe, but experience suggests that there will not be another "banner" day this year and that the harvest will probably remain modestly steady for the next week or two. Even though the picking has slowed, the evening weather has turned great, with cooler temps keeping bugs down. If picking conditions change, I will post an update, otherwise assume the conditions above remain.

We live in Iron Mountain. Would later on in the month be better? Are you open on the weekends?
I think that waiting is a good idea if you are seeking 20 lbs or more. If you are picking an ice cream pail or two and have 4 hours, then I would not wait. Since everything is set up to be self service (assuming you are either paying by check or have correct change), we are open everyday during daylight hours.
