Blueberry Picking Tips
Blueberries grow in clusters that rarely all ripen at the same time. – Pick berries without any tinge of pink. – Roll berries with your thumb into your cupped hand. – Transfer berries to your bucket. If any falls in the process, please let it go.
Por Favor
Kindly leave unripe berries intact. Today’s unripe berries may make it to your bucket the next time you visit.

STORING YOUR BERRIES
WASH, THEN, EAT.
It is a good health practice to wash blueberries just before eating them. Our ventilated box should keep your berries for up to 2 weeks in the fridge. You may want to wash the berries and dry them before freezing, if storing the blueberries for a longer time. Dehydrating? Technically possible. More potential uses of the dry berries.
