Sights from Opening Day 2022

Posted on June 21, 2022 by Kevin Farrell

Opening Day for 2022 picking at Pack House Farm was Saturday, June 18th. This was a couple of weeks earlier than we had anticipated, so we weren’t completely ready for visitors. We have added a new covered area for sales and relaxing in the shade – so no more working under a tailgating tent!

We plan to be open every Saturday 8am to Noon between now and the end of July. We are no longer picking by appointment only. Depending on how the berries come in, we’ll be opening for a few “Twilight Picking” sessions too. The best place to find out about those are on Facebook – or feel free to give us a call. I love talking about berries!

Here are a few things to plan on when coming out to pick berries:

Wear closed-toed shoes and be on alert for fire ants
Apply sunscreen and bug spray
We take cash and venmo (still figuring the credit card thing out)
We have honey, jams, jellies, and salad dressings available too
Blueberries are $5 per pint container
Blackberries (pre-picked only) will be available in July
Feel free to ask questions – and have fun!

Our goal is to provide fresh picked fun and a connection to agriculture through our farm. We work all year long so that we can share this with others for a few short weeks each summer. We hope you will come out and join us!
