Unhurried picking in Machias

Simple field steps

Grab your bucket

Pick the Blueberries

Prices

We supply clean buckets in the open shed at the blueberry patch. Every harvest is weighed bucket-by-bucket so you only pay for what you pick.

Look for dusty-blue berries that pull easily, straight from the bush. Avoid green or red berries, as they do not ripen once picked.

Bring your bounty back to the weighing station and self-weigh your blueberries.

U-Pick price = $2.75 per pound

Pre-picked blueberries are available at $4 per pint

Pre-picked flats (12 pints per flat) are $36 per flat

4 flats or more = $32 per flat

Comfort in the patch

Sun and soil protection

Weather and cloud policy

Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes for the uneven grass. Bring a wide-brimmed hat, sunscreen, and plenty of fresh drinking water for the warm Machias hills.

Our patch operates rain or shine, but heavy storms keep us indoors. Call the farmhouse before driving out if the clouds look heavy.

Field details

Are pets allowed?

What should we bring?

To protect our cultivated highbush berries and maintain field hygiene, we kindly ask that you leave pets at home. Service animals are welcome. We have 4 dogs at our farm, all super friendly, and they might come and say hi to you once in a while.

We provide clean picking buckets and bags for transport. We recommend bringing your own shallow containers to keep your berries pristine.

Is there an entry fee?

When is the season?

There is no admission fee to enter our 154-acre homestead. You only pay for the blueberries you harvest, priced by weight.

Our highbush blueberries typically ripen from mid-July through August. Check our homepage or call the farmhouse for daily ripening updates.
