Each spring, River & Root Farm opens for u-pick blueberry season — typically late March through early June, depending on weather and harvest.
Visitors can harvest berries directly from the orchard. Berries are sold by the pound.
We also offer fresh pre-picked berries for those who prefer ready-to-take fruit, along with larger pre-picked orders for chefs, bakers, and food makers during the season. Availability varies week to week with harvest conditions.
U-pick typically opens late March and closes in early June. Here’s roughly how the season moves — join the list below for exact dates.
