Comments from a visitor on July 31, 2020: "My husband and I just returned from a wonderful visit to farm in Burlington County, NJ. Fred is a wonderful character who we enjoyed talking with. We were thrilled that there was plentiful picking this late in the season! The bushes were a good height for easy and quick picking and were very tasty. sweet but with a good tartness. The fields surrounding the farm are a lovely sight as well. We picked 12 pounds (or approximately 10 quarts) of berries for $15.00! We will definitely be returning next year. "
Comments from a visitor on July 06, 2010: "Stopped there on July 5, 2010. Due to lack of rain berries were small and some dried up but there were plenty of good tasting berries to pick. Fred is a delight as is his wife. Don't think they will be picking too much more this season."
Comments from a visitor on July 01, 2010: "We visited on 30 June. There were plenty of berries to be picked. The sign for the farm is kind of small, but we had no trouble locating it. Just park where you see other vehicles, and if no one else is there, park near the silver trailer that's parked by a tree. There's an old beat-up pick up truck with a sign telling you what to do (take a can, pick berries, come back to weigh and pay) though Fred will have to tell you which area is open for pick your own. He does provide large cans that you strap on to collect your berries in, but if you didn't bring anything to carry them home, he'll give you a cardboard box for $1. I forgot to ask if he grows organically or what, but based on the weeds/grasses in between the rows of blueberries, he doesn't go overboard with the herbicides, at least!"
Comments from a visitor on August 17, 2009: "Went blueberry picking today (8/17) at Fred-Plus-Three and the blueberries were plentiful and gorgeous! And of course Fred is a total delight. Also just want to put in a plug for River Side Homestead Farm. We've picked blackberries there for the last two summers (end of July/early August) and it has been a great experience. It's a small farm - great fun for kids - and the blackberry picking is easy and plentiful. We've also gotten eggplant, peppers, tomatoes, and herbs there. (And some wonderful potatoes that they dig for you)."
Comments from a visitor on August 05, 2009: "This farm was a real treat! Berries were big blue, plentiful and cheap. Fred and Ginnie are a trip. If he is 87, like he claims to be, then we better all start eating blueberries. A great all-around experience!"
Comments from a visitor on July 24, 2009: "July 24 - We visited Fred's and were very disappointed. The rows between the blueberry bushes were filled with grass that was knee high. The section of bushes we were directed to were just starting to become ripe and contained mostly white berries. Those that were ripe were big but sour. Fred was nice and a real character, but we've found other farms nearby that are much better."
Comments from a visitor on July 12, 2009: "Fred and his wife are super sweet and amazing. My friend and I went to the blueberry farm for the first time today and we had such a great time. The berries are more than plentiful and the whole set-up is so relaxed and well organized. There are no frills, just really nice people and huge amounts of sweet, large, well care for blueberries. We had such a blast just picking our way through the fields and afterwards we had a really great conversation with Fred and his beautiful wife. Tennis shoes are recommended and bring your own container so the berries don't get crushed in bags. You will want to adopt Fred and his wife into your family after you meet them."
Comments from a visitor on July 12, 2009: "We visited Fred's farm in early July 2009 (July 3rd 2009) and picked our Blueberries, and plenty of them. We were on a visit to NJ from Michigan and went to the Farm with our hosts. We all really enjoyed it very much. Fred and his wonderful family were very nice people. If I could, I will drive all the way from Michigan again !! (a bit exaggeration here with gas prices and distance) "
Comments from a visitor on July 01, 2009: "July 1, 2009: Went to this farm with my daughter today. Fred & his wife are amazing! Farm is great - tons of berries. $1.25 per pound. They provide cans to pick into (can strap them around your waist to carry). Each can holds 4 pounds. Berries are very sweet and tasty.large berries! Fred & his wife are very accommodating, nice, friendly, and helpful! I drove from outside of Philadelphia to this farm (about a 45 mile drive - an hour) and will drive there again before blueberry season is over as I was so impressed with the produce as well as the owners. Note: Although they give you collection cans, you need to bring something to haul your berries home! "

Comments from a visitor on October 11, 2010: "Just returned from a trip to Mood's to pick my own apples. My 13 year old son and I had a wonderful time, walking through the orchards and picking out just the apples that we needed. It is really nice to be able to pick different varieties that you want, unlike some of the other "big" pick-your-own farms in the area that only allow you to pick one variety of apple. Prices were reasonable, and we also left with a dozen warm apple cider donuts that were delicious! Highly recommend this farm. "

Cute Farm stand that includes veggies, fruits, jams and YUMMY homemade apple cider donuts. We traveled from Maryland for the second year and the donuts, especially if you get them warm are the best. The picking procedure is simple. They weigh your bucket that you bring or you can buy little cardboard buckets for 25 cents. We picked blackberries, blueberries and white peaches that were all delicious and very inexpensive. The blueberries were $1.15 a pound, blackberries were$1.40 and the peaches were 85 cents. I had a ton of fruit all for about $6. They have a great picnic area too. We will be back again soon. Great find and I found it on this website. Thank You. "

Blueberry Picking Tips, Recipes and Information

Blueberries are one of the easiest fruit to prepare and serve. There's no peeling, pitting, coring or cutting. They have few natural pests, (other than birds), so pesticides are generally unnecessary! This year's crop is fantastic (see related news story), thanks both to the weather and to more farms planting more blueberry bushes due to increased consumer demand over the past few years as more studies proclaim the anti-oxidant and other health properties of blueberries.

Click here to find a local Blueberry Festival (usually held between April and July).

If you are looking for information about a similar berry, the saskatoon (also called the June berry or Serviceberry) see this page about saskatoons.

Picking tips:

Select plump, full blueberries with a light gray-blue color. A berry with any hint of red isn't fully ripened.

Ripening AFTER picking?

First, it is key to know that once picked, blueberries will NOT become any sweeter, nor will the flavor improve. The only change that occurs is the color. They will APPEAR to ripen, but it is only a color change, from white to green to rose to red to pale blue to fully blue. So, white and green colored blueberries will not "ripen" after they are picked; while blueberries that have already turned purple, red or blue-ish usually DO change color after they are picked (if they are kept at room temperature to "ripen").

As the blueberries ripen ON THE BUSH, the flavor goes from tastless to bitter to tasteless tart to tart blueberry flavor to sweet blueberry flavor.

Grocery stores sell blueberries that are tart, not sweet because they had them picked unripe by machine so they are very firm and can handled being bumped around in shipping. They may look good, but are not as tasty as those picked when actually ripe.

So, the key is, PICK ONLY RIPE BERRIES!

How to pick blueberries

Since blueberries hang on the bushes in bunches a but like grapes do, the easiest and fastest way to pick them is hold your bucket under them in one hand and with your other hand, cup a ripe bunch and gently rub them with your fingers. The ripe berries will drop into your bucket, while the unripe ones will remain attached to the bush.

When the bushes are at peak, I can easily pick 2 gallons per hour (if I'm not being distracted by the kids and the sun isn't too hot!). A newbie might do 1 gallon per hour.and at the beginning or end of the season it takes more time as the berries are not as plentiful nor concentrated in clusters.

Tips for storing blueberries after harvesting:

Once picked, don't place the berries, still warm from the sun, in a closed bag or container. Leave the container open so moisture doesn't form in the container.
Don't wash berries until just before using, to prevent berries from becoming mushy.
Chill berries soon after picking to increase shelf life. Store your fresh blueberries in the refrigerator as soon as you get them home, without washing them, in a covered bowl or storage container. If refrigerated, fresh-picked blueberries will keep 10 to 14 days.
Freeze berries in freezer containers without washing to keep the skins from toughening. Place berries one layer deep. Freeze, then pour the frozen berries into freezer containers. Because unwashed blueberries freeze individually, they can be easily poured from containers in desired amounts. Remember both frozen and fresh berries should be rinsed and drained just before serving. Just before using, wash the berries in cold water.

Blueberry Measurements and Conversions

Keep in mind that blueberries vary considerably in density and moisture content, so these ranges are approximates.

Baking tips

If you have trouble with blueberries settling to the bottom of muffins and blueberry breads, try one or more of these tips:

Coat them with flour before adding to the batter. Just gently shake the blueberries in a bag (plastic or paper) with 1/2 cup of flour, then dump them mix in a sieve to remove excess flour.
It may just be that your batter is too thin. try making the batter a little thicker!
Fill the muffin cups or baking pan up to 1/4 full with batter (which hasn't had blueberries added to it yet); then stir the blueberries into the remaining batter, and continue to fill the muffin cups or bread pan. The blueberries will start off higher in the mix!
