"Biggest blueberries ever!"

I'm editing this review for 2011. The last paragraph is still true; however, the patch is completely overgrown. We drove by to check it out when we first got up here in July 2011. There are still tons of bushes, but the paths are so overgrown I think you'd need a machete to get through the patch. Not worth the drive or effort at this point. Really truly disappointed!

We found the farm on our last vacation to the area. The patch is a bit overgrown, and you're not likely to see the owner. But the price is great at $5/gallon. You'll want to bring your own buckets or bags to take the blueberries home. These were some of the biggest and sweetest blueberries I've ever seen. We went early in the season and only one other family was there, but I've heard they get busy. My 2 year old loved running around picking blueberries with us. We picked 3 gallons easily. It was a bit of a drive from where we were but completely worth it! He keeps his website up to date with crop information and useful tips. Supposedly he doesn't use any fertilizer or pesticides. Just pure blueberry goodness!
