FREE Blueberry Picking

A FREE U-pick farm, but donations are appreciated. Bring your own bucket & a friend.

We have roughly 150-200 blueberry plants on our property, we invite people out to pick their own (a donation box is located across from the patch) blueberries at our patch anytime. We ask that everyone please observe the following:

• DO NOT park on the grass except where indicated
• Pick up after yourself (no one enjoys trash left behind)
• Be aware that we do have friendly dogs who get excited to see our guests & may jump up to say hi
• Watch out for stinging insects & snakes
• We are NOT responsible for accidents, lost items, or injuries so please pick carefully & enjoy.

Located in Marion, if you would like directions please contact Marion Wellness and Disease Management at 828-652-8196

Parking is marked. Bring yourselves, your family, containers to pick, leave happy and rested but no trash.

 

*** Just a friendly reminder that the Blueberry Patch shares property with a Primary Care clinic and 3 private residences. We love to see families and kids enjoying the patch! Please use caution when letting kids roam the area. There is traffic in and out (especially during business hours) and the other properties may not be okay with people playing, climbing trees or biking on them. We are not responsible for damage to property or injury while on the grounds. Be safe & enjoy ***
