No signup is needed for U-Pick berries—just keep an eye on our open calendar, which we’ll publish as soon as dates are set. If you’d like us to pick for you, We-Pick orders can be placed through the OzBF Store.
Our blueberry varieties—Duke, Patriot, Blueray, and Draper—ripen at different times throughout the season, which typically runs from mid-June to mid-July. Peak picking usually occurs in late June, when all varieties are ripe. However, last year started in late May so stay tuned to the Berry Alerts.
Early-season picking lets you enjoy larger berries and the opportunity to pick multiple times. Late-season picking offers the ripest and often sweetest berries.
Here’s a quick guide to our varieties:
Duke — Mildly tart, medium to large, very firm berries. Ripens first.
Patriot — Large, classic sweet berries. Ripens second.
Blueray — Huge, sweet berries in large clusters. Third to ripen. Tip: Timing is key for fully ripe clusters. Watch Berry Alerts for updates.
Draper — Large, firm, powder-blue berries with rich blueberry flavor. Our final variety usually ripens in late June or early July.
