What to Bring:

  • Dress for the weather. The week we picked was chilly, so we wore jeans. This weekend is scheduled to be hot, so dress to stay cool.
  • Sunscreen
  • Bug spray
  • Water – make sure to stay hydrated
  • Bring a container or use one of theirs. Some places charge for picking containers.
  • Cash. Dexter Blueberry Farm is cash only
