Great Places for Blueberry Picking Long Island – what could be nicer than a day picking blueberries with friends and family? Other than getting to eat them afterwards of course!
Whether you are looking to make blueberry muffins, blueberry pancakes or just eat them raw – here is a list of the best places to go blueberry picking in Long Island.
Blueberry picking season is from July to late August in Long Island.
Bhavana Blueberries
4395 Hortons Ln, Southold, NY 11971
Bhavana Berries is a 30+ acre organic blueberry orchard located on the North Fork of Long Island. “From July to late August, the farm is open to the public for U-Pick blueberries. In addition to blueberries, we grow organic garlic that may be available at our farmstand in front of the farm.
We named our farm after the Sanskrit concept bhavana, meaning the cultivation of mind, body, and spirit. Bhavana Berries are dedicated to cultivating a sustainable blueberry orchard. But to a larger degree, we are dedicated to cultivating a healthy and responsible food community that connects the farm itself to the people who work on the farm everyday to the people who eat the fruit of our labor. We believe that building such a community is not only important for the success of our farm, but also for our society at large. The ancient South Asian concept of bhavana is inextricable from our approach to sustainable, organic farming.
Bring your friends and family to Bhavana Blueberries and pick as many blueberries as you’d like. We supply the buckets but you can bring your own if you choose. Fresh picked organic blueberries.”
Wickham’s Fruit Farm
28700 Main Rd, Cutchogue, NY 11935
Wickham’s Fruit Farm is “located on 28700 Main Road, PO Box 928, in Cutchogue, Long Island, about 90 miles east of New York City. Wickham’s fruit is grown on some of the oldest continually cultivated land in the country, much of the farm dating from 1661. Wickham’s Fruit Farm is an historic, bicentennial farm, beautiful to behold against the sparkling waters of Peconic Bay.
It is one of the largest farms on the North Fork, approximately 300 acres, of which 200 acres are in fruit, all of which is retailed at the farm. The emphasis is on fruit of the highest quality, and all fruit sold is guaranteed.
A very large proportion of Wickham farm land has been placed in Suffolk County’s Farmland Preservation program, which means that for generations to come, this land is “forever agriculture.”
Wickham’s Fruit Farm is a family enterprise which has taken pride in producing and marketing the choicest of fruit. The retail market is open usually from May through December from Monday through Saturday. Wickham’s is closed on Sundays, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas.”
