U-Pick Blueberries

Blueberry season is almost here! 

All of our picking days for the rest of the season will be open picking (no appointment needed).  Just show up during the designated hours. 

• We anticipate picking will end around 8/19 (plus or minus a few days).

• To find the most up to date info about upcoming picking times, call the berry hotline 218-260-9448

​

We will have a limited supply of pre-picked blueberries available. To see if we have any pre-picked berries currently available, visit our Online Store. As more become available, we will add it to the site, so check back frequently! Please note: you will either need to pick these orders up at the farm, meet us in Duluth Wednesday nights from 5:30- 7 in the Ashley Furniture parking lot (old Shopko parking lot) or schedule a time to pick them up from Nathan's parent's house in Rice, MN.

Blueberry Picking Basics:

• U-Pick Blueberries - $5 per pound​

• Pre-Picked Blueberries - $8 per pound

• We will accept cash, Venmo or check (credit card in a pinch)

• Our address is 264 Prevost Rd., Cloquet, MN 55720

• Call 218.260.9448 and listen to the message to find out the current picking situation.

• We will have signs directing you where to park.  

• Our general parking is about a 2-3 minute, beautiful walk to the field.  If you need closer parking please let us know ahead of time and we can direct you to a closer parking spot.

• We will have buckets that you can borrow to pick your berries into.  Using our buckets makes weighing your berries easier.

• You can bring your own containers to bring your berries home in or we will have cardboard flats that you can purchase for $1.50.

• We will be picking rain or shine.  If there is lightning present, we will close down the field. My phone number is below so please listen to the voicemail or text if you are wondering if we will still be picking.

• We generally have a limited supply of our products for sale at the farm stand in the blueberry field 

• Our plants are still not full grown, so a lot of our blueberries are low to the ground.  When you come to pick, be prepared to kneel, bend, sit, etc to pick our beautiful berries.  

• Sorry, no dogs allowed in the blueberry field.

• A porta potty is available on-site near our parking.

• Lastly, we are still relatively new at managing pickers. We may ask to move your picking day or you may not be able to pick as many berries as you hoped to pick due to less ripe fruit than we expected. Please be patient with us and know that we are doing the best we can!

Make sure you call/text (218.260.9448) or email (Nathan@sweetlandmn.com) if you have any questions.  Thanks and see you soon!
