🫐 **We're excited (and a little nervous!) to announce our very first Pick-Your-Own Blueberry Weekend at Wildberry Acres Farm!** 🫐

This Friday and Saturday, we're opening our small blueberry patch for a **trial PYO weekend**, and we'd love for you to come help us kick off this new farm experience!

📅 **Friday & Saturday**
🕙 **Open 10:00 AM**
⏰ **Last entry at 5:00 PM**
💙 **$6 per pint**

Our blueberries are **organically grown using no-spray practices**, so you can enjoy fresh, flavorful berries picked straight from the bush.

🍰 After you've finished picking, stop into the farm store for a **homemade blueberry shortcake**, made with fresh blueberries and available while supplies last!

A few notes before you visit:
• Please check in at the farm store before heading to the blueberry patch.
• We are still a small, growing farm, and **public restrooms are not available at this time.**
• This is our first trial weekend, so we appreciate your patience and feedback as we learn and grow!

We can't wait to welcome you to the farm and hope you'll help us make this the first of many blueberry seasons at Wildberry Acres Farm. See you this weekend! 💙🫐
