Local Blueberries

Before we became a winery, we began to grow blueberries and it grew from hobby farm to what you see today. Now, we have a "far north" patch and a south patch, about 3 acres to blueberries as well as the hybrid grapes we grow for wine. Our Bertha's Blue wine is our pride and joy, our only "estate" wine which means at least 95% of the fruit in the wine is grown on our farm. Bertha's Blue contains 100% blueberries grown 500 feet from our tasting room. We use this wine also in our blueberry-apple cider named "Babymaker". Come visit to find out about the names of our cider as well as all the stories we have to share with you in our tasting room. Do a tasting, have a glass, and if its about a week after the 4th of July to the 2nd week of August you should be able to purchase blueberries at our stand!

Local and Fresh

Our berries are grown 500 feet from our winemaking facility. This makes it easy to pick them and sell them fresh, or crush them for our Bertha's Blue Wine.

We are not certified "organic" but Abby told Mark when their kids were little that he couldn't put anything on the berries that would harm their kids if they ate them unwashed. We do spray to keep bugs and other invading species from eating them before you do!

Picking the berries

This part is always an adventure! We used to employ over 20 local kids to come pick berries for us. However, as the bushes became bigger and produced more berries it became more difficult to pick them all!

We now have an automatic blueberry picker that picks the berries for us. We still employ local kids to help, and our kids now help us as well. We hand sort and and package them to sell at our self-serve stand in front of the winery. The stand is open 24/7 during blueberry season (about the 2nd week in July to mid August).

How we sell them

We have a self-serve blueberry stand in front of our winery during blueberry season that is open 24/7! We appreciate your business and hope you enjoy the fruits of our labor.
