U-Pick Blueberries are almost ready!

Blueberries will be ready for the pickin' in about a week!  Larry and Nancy Chapman opened their blueberry/blackberry farm last year for u-pick....they were flabbergasted at how many people came to fill their buckets with their first season of berries.  So, like the gracious farmers they are, they have almost doubled their orchard size to 4200 blueberry plants...and soon they will be open for you to come back and enjoy local, all natural blueberries once again.  They use sustainable methods and their fruit has not been sprayed.  They welcome families of all ages and we ask that young children to be careful around their plants.  They have pre-measured buckets for you to use with the price being $4 @ lb. Please bring cash for payment.  Call Nancy Chapman at 321-624-9482 for the picking times and days. If she has your email address from last year, you'll be notified via email the first day u-pick is open.    Make sure you leave your email address with them so you can be notified when the blackberries are ripe around the first of May.
