1. 1.Arrive early in the morning (opening time) when berries are coolest, kids have more energy, and you'll beat the summer heat
2. 2.Dress kids in old clothes and closed-toe shoes that can get stained - blueberry juice is notoriously difficult to wash out
3. 3.Bring sunscreen, hats, and water bottles as there's limited shade in the blueberry fields
4. 4.Pack small containers or cups for little ones so they don't get discouraged by having to fill a large bucket
5. 5.Let kids snack as they pick (it's expected!) but remind them to put most berries in the bucket so you have enough to take home

Visit on weekday mornings during peak blueberry season (typically mid-June through July) for the smallest crowds and coolest temperatures. Early morning picking also means the berries are firmer and haven't been warmed by the afternoon sun.

This is a seasonal u-pick farm, so call ahead or check their availability before visiting as hours depend on berry ripeness and harvest conditions. You'll pay by the pound for what you pick, making it an affordable family outing where you also bring home fresh fruit.

Open during summer blueberry season only, typically mid-June through late July depending on crop conditions. Hours vary based on berry availability, so always call ahead or check their social media for current picking status. The farm may close temporarily between pickings to allow berries to ripen.

Head to Pungo Pizza & Grill (10 minutes away) for casual family dining with pizza and burgers, or visit Cullipher Farm Market nearby for fresh sandwiches, local produce, and their famous farm-made ice cream that kids will love after a morning of berry picking.
