If you look in the paper the local farms will have ads in the classifieds that will tell you when and where they are open. I have been out picking here(earlier than up north) and found the picking good to excellent; many many bushes and not a long walk from the car..Better than the blueberries is sa farm north of here off 301 that has pick your own veggies-for $12 they give you a 5 gallon bucket and you can pick all the bean, tomatoes,cukes and peppers you want. The tomatoes were excellent! for a couple dollars more you can add squash and cabbage. The last time I went we got 40 tomatoes, 12 bell peppers and 6 cukes for $12-best deal around and you know it is fresh!! Again found this in the paper or get adventurous and take a ride outside the villages and you will see signs all over the place in season.
