    Comments from a visitor on August 10, 2012: "Still plenty of good berries on bushes, Pacifics. The sunflowers are also in full bloom! $2 a pound"
    Comments from a visitor on September 04, 2010: "This farm made my day today. My friend Linda and I had so much fun picking flowers there, we will be going back again and again. The 2 ladies working there were just wonderful I really wish I had known about this place sooner."
    Comments from a visitor on August 09, 2009: "Cottage Gardens in Duvall continues to be wonderful -- over 300 bushes in at least a dozen different varieties, planted in rows so you can find your favorite or pick a mix, as you choose. It's been a while since they pruned some areas, so hardy souls can bushwhack a little for really heavy picking. The price is up to $2/lb but it's well deserved!"
    Comments from a visitor on July, 2008: "My son and I have gone to this farm for two years now, and they are great! They have such a wide variety of strains that there is always something in season throughout the summer, even after most farms are out. Their bushes are large and there is a conifer forest at the end of the rows, so there is shade! The drive out on Kelly road is so worth it, as there is construction on cherry valley road and you MUST take Kelly road out. We pick two buckets in about thirty minutes and spend under $10. The late season varieties are even sweeter than early summer." Another visitor writes: "I live right down the street from Cottage Gardens. This was my first year picking blueberries there. The couple who own the gardens are very nice people. Blueberries were only $1.25/# (at least near the end of the season). I have only picked on the front section of the property and they have 7 rows with each being a different variety of blueberry. The gal there said in overall they have over 400 bushes on the property. Highly recommended!"
    Comments from a visitor on July 9, 2007: "We have picked there the last 2-3 years. They have a variety of different blueberries that ripen over the season. The patch is in a pretty, wooded area, and the owners are very nice. Great place to pick blueberries!" Yet another visitor writes on August 10, 2007: "This was a fantastic place! We went this afternoon and it was wonderful! The owner was delightful - friendly and informative about the different types of blueberries. She chatted with us while we picked (and she was picking and adding to our buckets!) The variety of berries was great - we didn't know there were so many kinds and it was fun to pick a "blend". We would highly recommend this farm!".

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.

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.

  • 1 gallon of blueberries weighs about 7.5 lbs or (4 liters of blueberries is about 3.5 kg)

  • 1 pint of fresh blueberries weights about 3/4 of a pound. (1 liter of blueberries is about 700 grams)

  • 1 pound of fresh blueberries is usually between about 2 and 3 cups of berries.

  • It takes about 4 cups (about of blueberries to make a blueberry pie (see this fantastic and easy blueberry pie recipe)

  • A normal batch of blueberry preserves, jam or jelly requires 5 pints of berries.

  • Blueberries do come in a variety of sizes from small (190-250 berries per cup) to extra large (<90 berries per cup).

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!
