2008 Season in progress

Things are shaping up nicely for this picking season. A lot of rain so far has meant larger berries that are not quite as sweet as in previous years. Still, they are tasty, organic and plentiful.
Our new web presence and e-mail update list are changing the way picking happens, however. There are now over 350 names on the e-mail list. The Plain Dealer is running a story on local U-pick farms and we show up on pickyourown.org. Where we used to be open 5-6 days a week, we only have enough supply now to be open for 2-3 days a week at most.

Many people think that blueberries are a July 4th event, but our season is only just starting then. This year we're even a week or so behind the previous few years. We probably won't hit our pick picking time until the first week of August (the time when there are fewer berries coming than there are ripe). Go to our website http://home.centurytel.net/chancecreekblues/ if you need more info. Come on out when you can - call first, though! 440-965-5591
