Payment: Cash, Check.
The owner writes on June 26, 2009:
"I am the owner of Chmielewski's Blueberry Farm. When we bought
this farm several years ago it was taken over by brush,
honeysuckle and a variety of different vines. For several years,
we have slowly tried to clean up the brush and vines. Trying to
keep up with the vines has been very costly to us. We are trying
to stay organic but unfortunately it is very difficult. You have
to manually cut out the vines that grow up through the bushes.
THis has to be done several times a year. We have been in a
severe drought for almost 2 months and are irrigating around the
clock. We have had a record amount of people out picking this
year so we have been closing down to let the berries ripen
during the week. Now to add to our problems, the birds are
eating all of the ripe blueberries before we can re-open. We are
definitely going to have to make some changes next year. We are
doing our best to keep our farm opened to the public. We have
been told that we will most probably have to start using
chemicals. We are trying not to go with chemicals. Many of our
customers have volunteered to help us out with our vines and
brush. We have reluctantly decided to take them up on this
offer. "
A visitor writes on June 20, 2009:
"Arrived at 8 AM on Saturday (after farm closed all week for
ripening) and found virtually NO berries. Five people picked 2
pounds in one hour. Not worth the trip. Farm is in poor
condition, many bushes overgrown with vines. "
