At Tammen Treeberry Farm, you may pick your own blueberries. We grow about 50 acres of blueberries. On average, we begin picking blueberries around mid-July and pick for 3 or 4 weeks. The date we begin varies a great deal depending on the weather. In recent years, we have had large crowds. Sometimes it is necessary to close for several days to give the berries more time to ripen. Hours When we are open, our hours are 8 AM till 4:30 PM, Monday through Saturday. We accept Master Card, Visa, Discover, and American Express credit and debit cards. We have restrooms and a shaded picnic area. The strong at heart are welcome to click this link to Treeturkey's Blog. Benefits of Blueberries • Blueberries are easy to freeze.
