Pick your own Blueberry Tips Capital Region Albany, Pick your own berries Capital District

June 11th, 2013 by

P1210221The Liberty Ridge Farm Market promotes sustainability and community through our commitment to local food and agriculture.  Pick your own blueberries Begins the 2nd week of July from  7am -4pm daily.  

Our acres of  blueberry fields are located  near the farm market which is located next to the admissions building adjacent to the parking lot.

Liberty Ridge Farm Blueberry Picking comes with a few suggestions for maximum enjoyment

We want you to Protect yourself –You’re going to be standing out in the sun for a few hours, so bring water and wear a hat, plenty of sunscreen and clothes that you don’t mind getting a little stained with blueberry juice :)
We offer buckets but we suggest BYOB –Bring your own bucket. We provide buckets for picking, but you might want your own for transporting your berries home. It’s also handy to have a smaller bucket for picking and a larger bucket to empty it into when it gets too heavy.
Might not of heard of this before .BYOB2 –Bring your own belt. This advice is very useful, you might think it sounds a little strange.  Attaching your picking bucket to your belt keeps it in a convenient spot and lets you easily pick with both hands.
Stay put –Find a bush with plenty of ripe berries and stick with it until you’ve picked it clean. You’ll be amazed just how many berries are on one bush, you will save more energy for picking if you’re not moving around a lot, and you’ll leave other bushes in better condition for your fellow pickers.
Dont be afraid to Get in there –Many new pickers just pick the berries from the very front of the bush. We have found the best clusters of plump, ripe berries on the undersides of branches.
Please Be gentle –We have  found the best way to pick the berries was to roll the berries between my thumb and the palm of my hand, and the ripe ones would easily fall off.
MOST IMPORTANT HAVE FUN –Blueberry picking is a relaxing way to spend time with your kids or loved ones while choosing to eat healthy.  Blueberries have so many wonderful benefits, they are plump wholesome berries that are rated amongst the highest in Antioxidants.

Dont want to Pick Your Own – DON’T WORRY – Our farm has fresh picked berries for those who want to purchase berries but are not interested in Picking.

We hope to see you soon on the farm
