Locally, it’s become a favorite season of the year and this year’s blueberry season in Lake County kicked off in March and is expected to continue through May.  Eager blueberry lovers should pick to their heart’s content since blueberries are widely considered a “super food” that’s low in calories and high in nutrients and antioxidants.  
Due to weather and changing field and berry conditions, U-pick hours and pricing can change, so it's recommended that pickers call farms prior to visiting.
​
