As a newbie New Englander, it was my duty to go blueberry picking, just as it was to go to a sugar shack in the winter, see the lilacs in the spring, and eat lobster rolls in the summer. Tree Berry Farm is near my in-laws, so it was a quick trip down the road. Thankfully, parking is in a grass lot off the main road, and you aren’t expect to play Frogger with fast-moving cars on RR123. There’s lots of signage showing you where to park, where to pick up a bucket, and which sections are open for picking. Even at the height of blueberry picking, with lots of families around, there was still plenty of space to spread out, and lots of blueberries to go around! Jamie and I picked for about 15 – 20 minutes. If you’re going to be there longer(i.e., if you have small kids), bring sunscreen and water! You pay at the same place you pick up(and return) your bucket. At $ 4 a pound, it can’t be beat! We got about 2 pints worth of blueberries for that price. And the wonderful thing is, the flavor is far superior to that of the produce department at your local grocery store. They lasted a long time, too! For tourists and locals alike, blueberry picking is a must, and I can’t recommend any place other than Tree Berry on the South Shore. It’s the most organized and has the best blueberries anywhere!

We went blueberry picking here this past weekend and had a great time! The owner could not be nicer — you can tell the people who work here love what they do. My toddler loved picking blueberries, and though they said they had been crazy busy the days before, there were still TONS of blueberries, and they were huge and delicious. The prices are reasonable and you can’t get better blueberries at the supermarket, so it’s definitely worth the trip. One thing to note, they are cash only.
