What an incredible opening day at Pearson’s Bees and Berries in upper Kennydale today! They’ll be open every other weekend as long as the season lasts (right now projected through the beginning of September). Specific hours are listed on their home page.
The historic Blueberry Farm is located on an ancient peat bog that is naturally watered by Kennydale Creek. Most of the one-thousand blueberry bushes are decades-old, and produce some of the tastiest berries you will find anywhere. They use no herbicides, pesticides, or chemical fertilizer on their plants, making the berries safe to eat right off the bush and making their farm environmentally friendly. Crystal and Shane Pearson purchased the farm in an overgrown condition several years ago, and have been meticulously tending it for many years to prepare it for full-scale you-pick operation this summer. Today was a brilliant opening day. At the rate they were selling when I was there I am sure they will be dispensing hundreds of pounds of blueberries today.
