Do you know where I can go to Pick-My-Own blueberries?
A:
No. The label you are referring to belongs to the Texas Blueberry
Marketing Association. We do not market through the TBMA. They sell blueberries from Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas
and other places. Our blueberries are naturally grown on Texas soil with Texas pride. Our company name says it all, we
are "Texas Blueberries."
A:
Our blueberry planting has NOT had ANY pesticide application for over 14 years. (knock-on-wood) It can not be
certified "organic" only because we use chemical fertilizer instead of poop. We consider this
"as good as" organic, but the governmental agencies do not.
A:
No.
A:
Yes. However, most of our fresh and frozen blueberries are sold wholesale in 20# & 30# boxes,
by the pallet/truck load. Individual customers may come to our farm and buy fresh blueberries
by the box, in any quantity, at the present wholesale price of the day. (In other words; You blueberry
lovers can save big-bucks if you come to us and stock up for the year. We'll show you how.)
A:
Texas Blueberries is located just 3 miles north of Grapeland off Hwy 19/287,
on County Road 2330, Houston County, Texas.

Harvest season usually begins the
first week of June, and continues until mid-July. This is the ONLY time we are open to the general public.

Unfortunately no, we do not allow Pick-Your-Own. Each night we process from
5 to 7 tons of blueberries, but we'll gladly part with a few pounds just for
you. Our seasonal business hours for the general public are 1:00am - 9:00am M-F. (Days and times
subject to change as dictated by Mother Nature and shipping schedules.
So, it's always best to call for availability before you come by.)
