Blueberries
fresh . local . organic
Monday, June 30th 2025
Our 2025 blueberry season is now finished - and what a roller coaster it was!
From spring freezes (which left us uncertain if we would even have a season) to 100 degrees days - this year kept us on our toes. Thanks to all of YOU (and the amazing rains we received) it ended up being a great season.
With our little blueberry plants maturing, we should now have more and more fruit every year for the next several years!
"Thank You" never feels like enough...but we are truly SO grateful for your support!!
Thank you for every visit, every purchase, every social media "share" and review, and for your kind words.
Your encouragement means more than you know...we couldn't do this without you!
Thank you for being on this journey with us as we restore the blueberry patch and grow it into something that can hopefully last for a long time.
We love being part of your traditions - an excuse to slow down, connect, and immerse yourself in nature as you celebrate the joy of summer and blueberry season.
We are already looking forward to seeing you next year!!
Please join our blueberry mailing list for a notification before we open next year.
P.s.
We're planning to update our website over the next year! if you have any pictures from your visit, what you did with your blueberries, or our merchandise "in the wild" that you don't mind us sharing publicly please send them our way!!
Thank you!!

Details:
Pets are not allowed in the patch. Friendly dogs are welcome on leash in our parking area.
Buckets and bags are provided for picking and to take your berries home.
Feel free to pack a picnic and stay awhile - we have picnic tables!
We have planted lots of baby blueberry plants over the past three years . Please watch out for them and don't step on them! They are the future of our patch and we have poured so much time, love, sweat, and hope into them.
Our blueberries are:
✅USDA certified organic 🫐
✅Only touched by rain and sunshine 🌞
We don't spray anything or put anything on the berries (we only use some organic fertilizer on the ground and through our drip irrigation system!) so they're ready to eat or freeze as soon as you pick them - no washing required!
✅Grown with love and a lot of hard work by a small but mighty crew and tons of support from family and friends ❤️ 💪

Thank you so much for your support! We truly couldn't do this without you!
What does "USDA certified organic" mean?
With so many terms out there, it can be hard to keep up! So, if you're wondering what it means that our blueberries are "USDA certified organic"...You don't need to feel shy about asking - we're happy to tell you!
1. USDA stands for the United States Department of Agriculture.
2. Many people don't realize that "organic" is about more than what we put (or don't put) on our berries! Here's a short description of what "organic" means:
"Organic is a labeling term that indicates that the food or other agricultural product has been produced through approved methods. The organic standards describe the specific requirements that must be verified by a USDA-accredited certifying agent before products can be labeled USDA organic. Overall, organic operations must demonstrate that they are protecting natural resources, conserving biodiversity, and using only approved substances." (A)
"The primary goal of organic agriculture is to optimize the health and productivity of interdependent communities of soil life, plants, animals and people.” (B)
Conclusion: "USDA certified organic" means that the United States Department of Agriculture has inspected (and continues to inspect) our farm to ensure that we're meeting organic standards and certifies that we are! You can even find us on the registry here to prove it! (just type in Hobbit Hill Farm)

We are proud to be a USDA certified organic operation! As we grow and encounter new opportunities and challenges each one is approached through the organic farming lens. We have learned so much through the ongoing certification process!
We like to say that our berries are beyond organic because, in addition to meeting the organic standards, we strive to go above and beyond to care for our plants, the land, and the ecosystem we are a part of.
A lot of time, thought, love, energy, and sweat goes into taking care of our blueberry plants AND the land we love. For us, it's worth it!
