The organic blueberries at Running Fox Farm in Worthington are perfect this year! It’s always an experience with Mother Nature visiting the farm on Thrasher Hill Road! I freeze a bunch for a taste of summer all throughout the year. Well worth the trip. 🐿
I was at Quonquont in Whately last week and the picking was great. I’d been there for peaches or apples but not blueberries before. I LOVED the berries I got at The Benson Place last year. I’m due to pick there this week.
@Hilda and Susan—could also be Riverview Farm same side just past Paicorek (sp?) Farm and Ice Cream stand.
I like the pyo place in Worthington just off old north rd. It is also the honor system. Great big berries.
