Pick blueberries? If you have never picked your own blueberries, you should. It’s rewarding. I remember doing it as a kid with my mom and my grandparents. I am sure we made more with them, but all I remember is making fresh blueberry ice cream.

Packed with antioxidants, vitamin K, vitamin C, manganese, and fiber. Blueberries help your guy health, your mental health, your heart health, and supposedly can help to lower your A1C (average blood sugar level). Blueberries are a sorely underrated.

A month ago I saw this day was coming up and I started looking for pick-your-own blueberry farms in the area. I found Blase Family Farm and blueberry season was happening. I tried for a week to get a spot, they book quickly, and then I was able to get an early spot on a day off.

Driving up to the Blase Family Farm, I thought GPS had given me the wrong directions. You are driving smack dab into a neighborhood, but then there it is. There is a gravel lot off to the left as I came up. You walk down into the woods a bit to check in, then you walk a little further into the woods which open up on their blueberry fields.

I enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend it. They space out the time so you can be as close to or as far from other people as you would like. I had an entire row to myself most of the time which was pretty nice. Each plant had a few that looked just ripe so you walk along and take a few from this bush and take a few from another bush.

By the end I had a little under two pounds of blueberries, not quite a half gallon mason jar but close. I am looking forward to making some goodies and enjoying some nice ripe berries. I will definitely be heading back to Blase Family Farm.
