Fresh fruit is great any time of the year, but to my eye there's no fruit that is more wonderful when picked off the vine than the humble blueberry. Bright, juicy, sweet, and floral - the blueberry goes great in just about anything. Blueberry preserves, blueberry pie, and even blueberry juice - they always taste so much better when made from fresh-picked blueberries. The great news is, there's an amazing place to go blueberry picking in New Jersey! DiMeo Farms in Hammonton is a small rural farm that has one winning feature that's hard to find anywhere else in the state - a u-pick farm where you can wander the fields and fill your basket up with exactly the blueberries you want. The blueberry season is getting late, so now's the perfect time to head to DiMeo Farms and fill your basket!
Ah, blueberries. When picked fresh, at their peak, there is no fruit that's juicier and more flavorful.
The best place to pick your own blueberries in New Jersey is at pastoral DiMeo Farms in Hammonton - and the blueberry season is still going!
This popular u-pick farm also does a brisk business in selling fresh and frozen blueberries, as well as blueberry plants if you want to bring the magic home for next season.
The highlight here, though, is definitely heading out into the fields and picking those perfect blueberries for yourself.
You just select the fruit you want off the vine, bring your bucket back to the counter, and pay by weight.
If you're not up for the u-pick experience today, head to the table where you'll find a large selection of fresh-picked berries waiting for purchase.
Hammonton is a beautiful area of New Jersey, and you may want to extend your day with a kayaking trip on Hammonton Creek.
Of course, you may be more excited about getting those blueberries home to fulfill their destiny as a stunning blueberry pie!
