Saturday from 7AM - 1:00PM: Blueberry U-Pick and Plant Sale at B & G Blueberries!

Last week went wonderfully at B & G Blueberries. It's a true family operation. One generation washing out blueberry buckets for picking... the next generation weighing bags laden with sweet fruit... and the next generation directing traffic. I love seeing family businesses like this and am proud to be a part of this year's fun.

The picking price is just $2.50 a lb, too! And though the berries aren't organic, they also aren't sprayed with any pesticides so you can nibble without fear. I'm going to pick a few gallons for my freezer tomorrow.

And if you haven't tried real Florida rabbiteye blueberries before, you're in for a treat. Bill also has some Southern Highbush blueberry bushes at untouchable prices. $12 for a 3-gallon plant. Crazy.

As for me, I'll have a wide selection of perennial vegetables and fruit trees, including gingers, wild blueberries, dwarf pomegranates, chaya, coffee, Okinawa spinach and more. 

Come on by, pick some berries and buy some plants!
