A short walk away is our blueberry patch, Carol's Blueberry Patch, where we host pick-your-own blueberry picking during the season for a few weeks in June and July. We also have a few red raspberries that are in season in August if you're interested in picking during your stay. Another produce farm you'll see from the back yard belongs to our neighbors, Worthington Produce. They raise a variety of vegetables all summer long. Both farms have been family run on this land for generations. More information about produce offerings from both farms is available in the House Information binder in the house during your stay.
