 |
• Bring a belt to loop through the handle of your bucket, then you can pick with both hands. |
||
• Bring a hat and sunscreen because it can get hot out there! |
 |
|
 |
• Use bug spray if you come in the evening. |
|
| • You can bring your own containers to pick into, but we have to weigh them before you use them. | ||
• Please don't put blueberries, raspberries or currants in the same container, they are different prices per pound. |
 |
|
• It is better to pick when the berries are dry, unless you are picking them to make jam or can dry them soon. |
||
| • Lift up the raspberry and blueberry branches, the best berries are hiding inside & on the bottom of the bushes. |
|
|
 |
• The green berries (unless they are gooseberries) are GROSS because they are not ripe. |
|
• It is better to pick raspberries in the morning, as they are very popular & get picked out. |
||
• Why not bring a packed lunch and eat it on out picnic tables or deck? |
||
• If you squeeze the blueberries they will be dark blue and mushy when you get home. |
||
| • Don't be lazy! The further down the field & the rows you walk, the better the picking will be. |  |
|
 |
• Trash and bucket liners do not help the bushes grow :-( | |
| • Don't be alarmed at birds noises, they are our "Squawk Boxes" to deter the birds from pecking the berries. |  |
|
| • Taste your bush before you pick, make sure it is ripe. | ||
| • Bring a cooler if your berries will be spending the day in the car after you pick them. | ||
| • Have fun! | ||
