It’s blueberry season! These scrumptious summer berries taste great in salads, desserts and cocktails or on their own as a healthy and tasty snack. Fresh blueberries are all the more satisfying after a summer day at the farm or orchard picking them yourself.
Most varieties of blueberries are ready to pick in June and July, but many Delaware farms continue U-pick season throughout the summer with other products like peaches and sunflowers. Mid- to late-July is a great time of year to catch the end of blueberry season and the start of other summer produce options in the same trip. These farms and orchards are great places to pick your own blueberries, peaches, sunflowers and more.
Bennett Orchards
The Bennett family has been farming the same land since 1867. With a history that long, it’s easy to trust their tried and true farming methods to produce some of the best fruit in the region. Bennett Orchards grows a variety of blueberries including Duke, Draper, TopShelf, BlueRay and BlueCrop berries. BlueCrop remains the “gold standard” of blueberries, according to Bennett Orchards, and it’s available to pick throughout July.
