Picayune Blueberry Farm
Picayune, Mississippi 601 799 7243
General Information
Hours
Our normal open hours are 9 am to 5 pm. The dew is usually gone by 9 am and then we can pick dry berries. Wet berries promote mold growth and minimize shelf life. Therefore we cannot harvest in the rain or for a while after a rain because wet berries do not keep as well as dry berries. Give us a call to make sure we are open. 601 799 7243.
The Harvest Season
Our season usually begins in mid-May and lasts till early July, but is dependent upon winter weather and spring rains. Check with us to get harvest dates.
