Frequently Asked Questions

About Blueberry Picking at Estes Blueberry Farm

How do we find a good place to pick?

Upon arriving at the farm, please stop at the blue and white building. We will provide you with containers and direct you to the fields. We have three fields containing more than 2,000 blueberry bushes. Ample parking is available next to each field.

Can we walk around the farm?

For safety reasons, we kindly request that visitors stick to the blueberry picking fields during their visit to the farm. As a fully operational farm, wandering beyond the designated areas can pose risks, such as damaging crops or encountering moving vehicles on the farm roads. Additionally, there are irrigation ponds on the property, so we ask that you closely supervise children at all times.

Do you accept credit cards?

Yes, we accept all major credit cards, cash, and checks.

What varieties of blueberries do you have?

We have two varieties of highbush blueberries: Blueray and Jersey. Blueray is an early to midseason variety that produces large, dark blue berries with a sweet flavor. Jersey is a late-season variety that produces medium, dark blue berries with a very sweet flavor.

Do you have blueberries already picked to sell?

No, we are solely a pick-your-own operation.

Are you organic?

We are not organic. To prevent crop damage, we use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies. These practices include natural control, pest monitoring, responsible chemical use, cultivation, and pest-resistant varieties.

Do you have restrooms?

Yes, we have a portable restroom.

Can I bring my dog to the farm?

For the safety of all guests, please leave all pets (with the exception of trained service animals) at home.

How long does the season last?

The picking season typically starts mid- to late July and lasts until the end of August. However, the start and length of the season depend on the weather and how quickly the berries ripen.
