Welcome to Bryant's Blueberries, a pick your own blueberry farm located in Southern Indiana within 1/2 hour of downtown Louisville, KY.
We expect that our last day for the season will be Saturday July 31. We will NOT be open on Wednesday July 26. The harvest estimate for Saturday is small; consequently we will only be open from 7:30am to 1pm. We have not sent out email messages this week. We are waiting to get a better estimate for Saturday. (Birds could be "picking" most of what is getting ripe.)
The regular information is copied below:
We accept cash and checks, but NEITHER debit NOR credit cards.
Please park facing ribbons hung on rope. Please do NOT park within 10 feet of the driveway. People need to pull off to get around oncoming traffic.
If you bring your own picking containers (they should have handles), please have us weigh them BEFORE picking. You may pick into our buckets, baskets and/or milk jugs.
For transporting your berries home, we provide plastic bags. Or you can bring your own large shallow containers (dish pans, roasters, Tupperware, etc.)
