2013 Blueberry Season Opener: 17 August

The 2013 blueberry-picking season at the GBbF will start Saturday, August 17, at daylight. Since it is a self-serve/honor-system operation, we will remain open daily, during daylight hours, until we are done picked out, which will probably be in mid September. Picking is usually excellent (unbelievable) opening weekend. It should be pretty awesome the first 10 days this year, or so, then it will get more realistic (harder) thereafter. Bring your own containers. Pre-weigh them at the Berry Building. $2/lb. We have ice-cream pails for purchase or loan, if needed. Below are pictures of conditions today (Aug. 11), and you can see it is still early.  It will probably be a little early next week as well, but we feel that we are running out of summer and so we are balancing the relative ripeness with remaining days of summer available for picking.  No way of knowing whether we guess right--our saving grace...
