Winney’s Farm

Very nice, fun picking. unfortunately I forgot to get there in time this year, but past years it has been great. Highly recommended, get the big gallon bucket, you can freeze your blueberries and eat ‘em all year round! Prices reasonable (unlike those jokers are Saratoga Apple).

As an update to my review from last year, I have one very important thing to add:
Don’t pick blueberries in the rain without first dipping yourself in insect repellent!!!
(We picked 6 lbs this year, and picked earlier in the season — tons of varieties to choose from)

This place is great! Love mid July with fresh plump blueberries! They always have great blueberries and plenty of them for a good price!

Winney’s Farm, located just outside of Saratoga Springs, New York, is Saratoga County’s largest blueberry farm. They have hundreds upon hundreds of blueberry plants which include many different varieties. My personal favorite was «Brigetta», followed closely by the «Duke» variety. You can purchase fresh picked blueberries from the store at the entrance or pick your own. I prefer the latter. After picking up the buckets at the entrance, you drive a short distance down a farm road to a parking area in the middle of the blueberry fields. There you can see that each row is clearly identified by a sign at the end with the variety’s name.
It’s hard not to notice the sounds coming from the loud speakers situated throughout the fields. It’s an ingenious way to keep the blueberries intact. They broadcast the sounds of native hawks and birds in distress to keep the other birds from eating the blueberries. It definitely works judging from the amount of fresh blueberries. Don’t get too close to the speakers, they are pretty loud. Although I’m not sure how they keep the deer away with no fences.
We picked a little over 1 ½ gallons of blueberries and paid about $ 12. That’s not including the other half gallon we ate while we were out there. They charge $ 1.35 per pound. Blueberries will be available for picking here until Mid to late August.
