🫐 My husband and I have been picking blueberries at various farms in the area for years. It doesn’t take long to pick a couple of gallons, and I swear the berries are bigger than anything that can be bought in grocery stores. Plus they freeze well, so the blueberries can be used year-round (assuming they don’t get eaten first).

🫐 Needless to say, I feel well-prepared to help you get ready for Blueberry Picking near Birmingham.
