Blue Barn Farm
Blue Barn Farm is a U-Pick farm for blueberries, black & red raspberries and blackberries. We also have On-Farm Sales of the best sweet corn, strawberries and a variety of fresh vegetables! Our produce can also be found at farmers markets we attend - Hollidaysburg on Tuesdays, Altoona Curve on Wednesdays and Williamsburg's Trail Town Market on Saturdays. Our growing methods focus on sustainability. We use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) which focuses on comprehensive information on the life cycles of pests and their interaction with the environment. This information is used to manage pest damage by the most economical means, AND with the least possible hazard to people, property, and the environment. We aim to grow a healthy crop with minimal disruption to agro-ecosystems.
Berry picking generally begins the last week of June and with our current varieties, lasts about 4 weeks. Picking times are early in the day, 8am - 11am and late in the day 5pm-8pm. Picking days depend on the availability of berries which is greatly determined by the weather, so we ask that you call ahead (240-357-4087) or check our web page or Facebook page.
Payment methods: Cash, check, credit card, FMNP vouchers
