Blueberries are ready for picking. Glenhaven Farm is open for picking and Grisamore Farms also has blueberries as well as Luce Farm in Ovid (7381 HALL Road, Ovid 607-532-9475). Check out their websites to get hours and directions. Or click on "U-Pick" to find other farms in your neighborhood that are open for picking.
Blueberries are one of my favorite fruits to pick. No need to break your back. The harvesting is quick and painless and it’s a great social activity since you can chat away with your friends. I always meet someone I know when I’m picking at Glenhaven. Many children come for the event. They either help their parents pick, or just have a private blueberry feast, or lay out a blanket in the shade and watch the others pick. Everyone has a good time. Blueberries are the best to freeze and baking requires no advance preparation. We just put a huge bowl on the table and let passerbyers grab the blueberries by handfuls.

I agree. One of the fruits that you can pick in no time. Blueberry is one of my favorite fruit.
Fortunately for those of us who live in the desert there is Costco! Costco has frozen Northwest Blueberries all year long. And this summer they have had 2lb fresh blueberries from the Norhtwest for only $4.99! I like them both ways, too bad the season is just about over.
Here in Finland we spend our summers picking blueberries. Our summer cottage is in great forest area and we pick around 1 litre of blueberries per hour. This year they are a bit on the small side because of the lack of rain. My wife makes great blueberry pie topped off with granola.
Your photograph of Blueberries made my mouth water. Unfortunately I live in England where there are no blueberries available for picking. I have to pay a fortune for a 2 pound punnet of fresh blueberries and they often lack that wonderful full flavor I am sure those U-Pick ones are loaded with.
Blueberries are my favorite! I usually whip up blueberry cheesecake for dessert.

Love blueberries! Not only that they taste great, they also have immense health benefits.
