The farm grows around 50 varieties of blueberries, with a total of 1,000 plants, as well as blackberries and raspberries. Visitors can enjoy seasonal berry picking from June to mid-August, including an all-you-can-eat plan. The farm’s processed products, such as frozen ice treats and jams made from the farm’s berries are also popular.
