This will be our forth year picking at Bastiani's! We usually pick enough blueberries to last us until about December in our deep freezer! We bake with them, pack them for snacks and enjoy them for months and months! Bastiani's prices are extremely affordable too which makes them simply our favorite! We basically pick all day...eat blueberries until we are sick... then go home and bake for the rest of the day! My kids adore this family tradition. We all do!
If you feel like dropping cash.... The Dinosaur Place @ Nature's Art Village is right down the road from Bastiani's. Don't go with less than $100...because that's what The Dinosaur Place will cost you, which is why we never go. They do have an amazing splash pad, bouncy house, and stunning playground. $$$$ If you do opt for Dino Place pack a cooler! The food there is expensive and not healthy and they allow entry with coolers which can really help with costs for the day!
The best time to go picking is around July 4th give or take. I usually start calling the farm around June 15th to get a beat on things! The farm is stunning and looks like a vineyard. It's never busy, never a line and somewhat private. No restrooms FYI.
Cheers! Here are some photos from our 17' (and a few from 16') trip to Bastiani's! All things Blueberry!!!!
* If you go make sure you spray your family with BUG SPRAY to prevent tick bites and wear light colored clothing if possible in order to see any crawling creatures on yourself/kids! We have never seen any ticks at Bastiani's, however anything is possible!
