Another store day this Sunday! It will be much like last week (9am – 2pm, pre-picked berries for sale with a two pint max per customer) but this time we’ll also be offering blueberry BBQ pulled pork lunches! For $20, you can get a pulled pork sandwich made on a homemade bun with our blueberry…
Last store day of the season
Our ‘pick-your-own’ blueberries are now picked out for the 2021 season but we will be having one more Merry Blueberry store day. We will have pre-picked late season Elliot berries for sale with a two pint maximum per customer. The date will be either Sunday Aug 15th or the 22nd. We will post an update…
Update for Sunday August 8th 2021
It was a tough call this week, but we’ve decided there aren’t enough berries in the fields for a full public u-pick day. So this Sunday we’ll open the Merry Blueberry Store and Cafe with prepicked berries for sale. There will also likely be some scattered berries in the field for the diehard berry lovers…
Three quick updates from the farm
Hi everyone! Three quick updates from the farm: 1) We’ll be adding a series of blueberry themed cards to our offerings in the Merry Blueberry Store & Cafe this season! We’ve got cheerier ones too but this one felt appropriate because of our next update in our list… 2) Due to two late frosts and…
Enter for last chance to u-pick in 2020
Whew! Saturday was quite a surprise, both for us and for the many people who arrived shortly after our opening time to find an already very full parking lot. We posted an update as soon as we could, but there were still quite a few people who either didn’t see it or had already driven…
Update to u-pick schedule
On the heels of a faster-than-expected ripening of our early-season berries, our mid-season berries are now ripening slower than expected (Agriculture! Always full of surprises!). We think there will be enough freshly ripened berries by the end of this week to open on Friday with shorter hours (9am to 2pm), but after that our next…
2020 season kicks off with prolific public pickers!
WOW! You guys must love blueberries as much as we do! Our 2020 season (also, our first fully open season, since last year was just our soft launch) kicked off with a bang last weekend, with a few terrifically strong days and plenty of happy pickers. This past week, we were expecting more berries to…
Update on the 2020 crop and Covid-19 protocols
Summer is in full swing here at Balderson Blueberries, and it’s looking like our second opening year is going to bear a stellar crop. There wasn’t much winter kill, which bodes well for a plentiful harvest. August 1st Sunday, July 26 is our anticipated opening day. (Note: berries ripened fast due to recent warm weather,…
Thank you for a wonderful soft opening
We were absolutely overwhelmed by all the love we received from family, friends, and the wider community at the soft opening of Balderson Blueberries last weekend. The positive feedback was tremendous. Thank you so much! PS: By popular demand, we’re opening for another u-pick day both today and tomorrow (Aug. 11 & 12) from 9am…
Behold beautiful bluebabies!
After all this time it feels surreal to me that my soft opening is one week away! It was touch and go whether the berries would be ripe or not on account of the cold, wet spring (which delayed everything) but when summer finally landed, it landed hard. Now my beautiful bluebabies are ripening nicely…
