WINDRUSH FARM U-PICK BLUEBERRIES 2009 ----THE CROP IS LOOKING FANTASTIC AND WE ANTICIPATE OUR USUAL MID AUGUST OPENING----THE EXACT DAY IS NOT DETERMINED UNTIL JUST A FEW DAYS IN ADVANCE. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE AN E-MAIL ANNOUNCING THE OPENING DAY, YOU CAN CLICK ON AT THE BOTTON OF THIS PAGE AND ADD YOURSELF TO OUR LIST. IF YOU ARE ALREADY ON OUR LIST, DELETING OR UPDATING YOUR E-MAIL CAN BE DONE THE SAME WAY.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND, WE ARE VERY BUSY PREPARING FOR THE SEASON AND DO NOT ACTIVELY MONITOR EMAIL OR PHONE MESSAGES UNTIL OUR PICKING SEASON HAS BEGUN. HOURS WILL BE SIMILAR TO LAST SEASON BUT HAVE NOT BEEN OFFICIALLY DETERMINED (nor has pricing). ALL INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE SEASON WILL BE UPDATED ON THIS WEBSITE AND OUR PHONE (544-7088) ONCE AN OPENING DATE HAS BEEN DETERMINED.
THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING EVERYONE AGAIN!!
***********************************************************************************************
We are completely chemical free--no pesticides or weed killer and when fertilizing, we only use organic products
We supply buckets for picking and bags for take home--although many choose and are welcome to bring their own take home containers or boxes.
Pre-picked blueberries are available at the Blacksburg Farmers Market during our active season on most Sat. mornings and Wed. afternoons---they do sell out quickly though, so come early.
We do not offer pre-picked at the u-pick farm
We have ample parking and do not require notice for groups coming out.
Porta-potty available
On days with persistant rain or drizzle--we will close--I have found the best indicator for current weather conditions is going to: www.weather.com and entering zip code 24128 or Newport, VA and then clicking on the radar map which will show what kind of conditions are heading our way over the next few hours.
