Hello from Dungeness Meadow Farm, your source for Certified Organic blueberries! Our 2024 opening day for blueberry U-Pick will be Wednesday, July 24, from 9-noon (unless we run out of ripe berries sooner). We're not open every day, as our customers prefer that we open when more ripe fruit is available. So far, three of our four varieties are ripe, but our main variety (Blue Crop) is lagging behind. The weather and the ripening of berries will determine which days we'll be open this season. Our harvest typically runs for 6-8 weeks.
When you reach the farm, you may choose a large or small bucket and food-grade plastic liner (which you'll use to take your berries home), then we'll escort you to the area with the ripest berries. Well-mannered children are always welcome here, but please leave your dog at home, as they are not allowed in the field and there is no shade for them while they wait in the car.
For our Certified Organic blueberries, we're asking $3.10 per pound again this year. We accept cash and checks, but not debit or credit cards at this time.
We apologize for our weeds this year. Although the entire field has been manually weeded two or three times, the weather this spring and summer has prevented us from spraying vinegar for maintenance. We continue to weed whack and manually weed as much as possible, but the weeds love our soil as much as the berries do!
Remember: Sampling's OK; Grazing is not!
We'll look forward to seeing you in the berry field!
Blueberry Dave and Teri
