Blueberries

We're done for the year. Thank you for a wonderful 2011 season - hope you filled your freezer! We usually re-open the 3rd week of June (weathe-dependent).


Wondering what the weather's like out here? Check our farm weather station data on this site or on Weather Underground.

*******************************************************

Sinking Creek Farm specializes in you-pick blueberries with a wonderful view! We grow quality berries using sustainable horticultural methods. No chemicals (pesticides, fungicides, etc.) are ever sprayed on the plants or berries.

Visit the picking schedule web page frequently - pick dates may change week to week. We will try to provide at least three weekday mornings and one weekend day during the season.

  • Children must be under your direct supervision at all times. We want to provide a relaxing, quiet picking environment for all of our customers.
  • Our you-pick berries are priced for 2011 at $2.40 per pound plus 2.5% Va. tax (one pound = 3/4 pint)..
  • Picking tip from the experts - spend your time at a few bushes and pick them top to bottom - you'll get a lot more than by wandering around the field. A 5-gallon bucket or collapsible stool to sit on works great.
  • We fully expect you to taste as you go; but it's disheartening to see someone eat berries by the handful and then pay for one or two pounds that actually made it into the bucket.
  • If you want quality pre-picked, contact us at least 36 hours in advance for availability and pricing information.
  • We provide containers to pick into - please bring your own containers for transporting them home.
  • We love dogs, but please leave yours at home - we have free-range hens scratching about.

Buckets o' berries
