Blueberry pie, blueberry crisp, blueberry muffins, blueberry coffee cake… We looove blueberry season around here and we find ourselves going picking at least a few times each summer. Have you been? We’re sharing just a handful of local farms to try - because there’s nothing like a sweet treat made with fresh picked blueberries. Promise.

Hicks Orchard | Granville: Opening soon for the 2024 season! There’s more than just apples at Hicks! Our family winds up here every summer. We usually head out on a weekday and enjoy the quiet of the breeze rustling through the leaves in the field and the promise of a cider donut at the barn when we’re done. They’re open Friday from 10am - 7pm and weekends from 10am to 4pm. Looks like they’ve got wood fired pizzas on Friday evenings, too! Find the rest of their info here.

Winney’s Blueberry Farm | Schuylerville: Opening July 3 for the 2024 season! Another favorite to our south, Winney’s has a huge variety and lovely pastoral views. It also might just be the closest of these farms to Glens Falls - but don’t quote us on that ;) They’re open daily from 8am to 6pm. Grab their info here.

Stu-berry Acres | Argyle: Open now for raspberries - blueberries to follow shortly! We picked here for the first time last summer and loved the easy picking and delicious berries. Bonus - they also have raspberries, which we had never picked before! Delish. Keep an eye on their Facebook for hours here.

Gardenworks | Salem: Blueberries coming soon for the 2024 season. You’ve heard us rave about Gardenworks a time or two or ten, and we love them even more during blueberry season! Once you’ve picked, peruse the shop for more delicious goodies - or head out on a weekend to enjoy a delicious lunch or glass of wine at their Cafe. They’re open Friday - Sunday from 9am - 5pm. As of this posting on July 10, we haven’t seen an announcement that picking is open yet, but keep an eye out here.

Strawberry Ridge | Granville: Opening July 5 for the 2024 season! We’ve picked strawberries here many times, but just found out they have blueberries as well! Keep an eye out for their u-pick hours here. P.S. Once you’re done picking, pop into Granville for a sandwich or a craft beer (here’s our mini guide to Granville with our favorites).

Hand Melon Farm | Greenwich: We’ve heard great things about this farm! Pick your own blueberries are open now for the 2024 season, and they’re open 9am - 5pm on Wednesday thru Friday, and 9am - 4pm on Saturday and Sunday. Find their info here.

Yoleberry Farms | Fort Ann: Always a favorite for strawberries, they have blueberries this year, too! Their u-pick will be opening soon for the 2024 season, and they’ll be open 9am-4pm every day except Monday. Find their details here.
