The blueberry picking season varies depending on geographic location and climate differences. Blueberries grow in almost every state, including Alaska and Hawaii.

  • In the southern states such as Florida, the blueberry season can start as early as March and extend through May.
  • In North Carolina, blueberries are typically ready to pick from June through August.
  • For northern states such as Michigan, the blueberry picking season often runs from July to September.

Always confirm the picking dates with your local U-pick farms to ensure you arrive at the height of the season.

Tips For Blueberry Picking

  1. Dress appropriately: Wear comfortable clothing, a hat for sun protection, and sturdy shoes.
  2. Pick ripe berries: Ripe blueberries are uniformly blue with no tinge of green. They should come off the bush easily.
  3. Store correctly: Bring your containers or boxes to avoid squashing the berries.
  4. Respect the farm: Follow the farm’s rules, stay in designated areas, and avoid damaging the plants.

Blueberry picking can be an adventure that all ages can enjoy. It’s a chance to create lasting memories while appreciating nature’s bounty.
