hats, sunscreen, walking shoes, take home containers!

Almost Ready--Picking Reminders

2011-06-23T09:46:00.000-07:00

Open on Tuesday June 28

A few important reminders:

We will be Closed on Mondays in 2011 season.
"Closed for Ripening" days will be posted here and also on our telephone answering machine. Check before making a long drive.
Bring "take-home" containers.
Children must remain under direct supervision at all times. Please observe and teach children good berry picking etiquette.
Pick in designated rows in designated spots. Do not wander around picking only the "whopper" berries. :-0
Organized picking prevents loss and gives equal access to the whoppers. Picking partners on opposite sides of bushes works well for clean picking.
No one is allowed in the pond.
No dogs, PLEASE! We love dogs, but not in the blueberry patch.

June Update

2009-06-05T07:10:00.000-07:00

We are gearing up for 2009 season. Late frost took some of the later blooms and buds, but most appear to have survived! We have had excellent rain so the berries should be plump and healthy.

VA Tech graduate student, Nancy Adamson has been studying our pollinators this spring. We have seen some honey bees, lots of bumble bees, sweat bees, wasps, etc. We look forward to seeing her report.

We plan to open around July 1. Please check the blog or call to confirm picking conditions. We look forward to seeing you this season.

2008 Recap

2009-02-08T13:53:00.001-08:00

2008 was a banner year for the Woodall Blueberry Farm. Over 1,600 gallons of blueberries were picked! The season was perfect with no late spring frost and ample rainfall at the perfect times. We are hoping that 2009 will be just as fruitful. Stay tuned!
