Blueberry season in the Triad is one of summer’s sweetest traditions — and North Carolina is one of the top blueberry-producing states in the entire country, so we’re lucky to have dozens of farms within easy driving distance of Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point, and Burlington.

Whether you’re looking for a fun morning activity with the kids, stocking up for jam and smoothies, or just want an excuse to get outside and enjoy a Piedmont summer, u-pick blueberry farms near the Triad make for a perfect low-key outing. Most farms open in late June and run through mid-to-late July, though season length varies by farm and weather — a hot spring can push the season earlier, while a cool one can extend it into August.

We’ve rounded up every blueberry farm we know of across Alamance, Davidson, Davie, Forsyth, Guilford, Orange, Randolph, Rowan, Stokes, and Yadkin counties. Before you head out, always call ahead or check the farm’s Facebook page — blueberry season moves fast and availability changes daily.

If your favorite farm is missing from this list, drop their information in the comments and we’ll add them!

Tips for Blueberry Picking in the Triad

Going blueberry picking for the first time? A few things to know before you go:

When to go: Blueberry season in the North Carolina Piedmont typically runs from late June through mid-July, with some farms open into early August. Early morning on weekdays is the best time to visit — cooler temperatures, less competition for the best berries, and shorter lines.

What to wear: Closed-toe shoes are a must — you’ll be walking through grass and sometimes uneven terrain. Light, long-sleeved clothing protects against sun and scratches from branches. Hats and sunscreen are essential on sunny summer days.

What to bring: Most farms provide picking containers, but you’re welcome to bring your own buckets. Bring water, especially if you’re going with young kids. A small cooler in the car keeps your berries fresh on the drive home.

How to pick: Look for berries that are fully blue with no red or pink tinge — those need more time. The best blueberries come off the stem easily with a gentle twist. Don’t squeeze the clusters; work your fingers around the berry and let the ripe ones fall into your palm.

How many to pick: A typical gallon container holds about 5–6 pounds of blueberries. For a family of four who wants enough for fresh eating plus freezing, 10–15 pounds is a good target. Blueberries freeze beautifully — just rinse, dry, and freeze in a single layer before transferring to bags.

Always call ahead or check the farm’s Facebook page before visiting. Farms can sell out quickly on weekends, close early due to weather, or adjust hours throughout the season without much notice.

What to Do with Your Blueberries

Picked more than you expected? (It happens every time.) Here are some of the best ways to use a big blueberry haul:

Freeze them: Rinse, pat dry, spread in a single layer on a baking sheet, and freeze for 2 hours before transferring to freezer bags. Frozen blueberries keep for up to a year and are perfect for smoothies, oatmeal, and baking all winter long.

Make blueberry jam: A small-batch blueberry jam requires just blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and about 30 minutes. No canning experience needed for a refrigerator jam that keeps for 2–3 weeks.

Blueberry muffins: A classic for a reason. Let the kids help measure and mix — it’s a great rainy-day activity the day after picking.

Blueberry pancakes: Stir fresh blueberries into your batter right before cooking. The berries burst in the heat and turn the whole pancake purple in the best way.

Blueberry smoothies: Blend with banana, yogurt, and a splash of milk for a quick breakfast or afternoon snack. Frozen blueberries work even better than fresh for smoothies.

Blueberry cobbler or crisp: One of the easiest summer desserts — dump blueberries in a baking dish, top with a brown sugar and oat mixture, and bake until bubbly. Our Healthy Blueberry Crumble recipe is a crowd favorite and comes together in minutes with fresh-picked berries.

Fourth of July desserts: Blueberry season lands right at the perfect time for patriotic summer recipes — pair them with strawberries and whipped cream for a red, white, and blue treat the kids will love. Check out our Fun Fourth Food post for easy July 4th recipes the whole family will enjoy.

FAQs About Blueberry Picking Near the Triad

When is blueberry picking season in North Carolina?

Blueberry season in the North Carolina Piedmont typically runs from late June through mid-July. Some farms open as early as mid-June in a warm year, and a few stay open into early August. Season length varies by farm and by the weather each spring, so always check with your chosen farm before heading out.

What blueberry farms are near Greensboro NC?

Several great options are close to Greensboro: Blueberry Thrill Farm in Gibsonville, Kernodle’s Blueberry Farm and SanDan Farm in McLeansville, and Summerfield Farms in Summerfield are all within 20–30 minutes of downtown Greensboro.

What blueberry farms are near Winston-Salem NC?

Reich’s Blueberries and Sprinkle’s Blueberry Farm are both located within Winston-Salem. Apple Family Farm in Kernersville, Engleberries Farm in Rural Hall, Joyner Blueberry Farm in Belews Creek, and Hall’s Blueberry Farm in Advance (Davie County) are all within 30 minutes of Winston-Salem.

Do you need to bring your own containers for blueberry picking?

Most u-pick farms provide containers for picking, but you’re welcome to bring your own buckets or bowls. Bring something to transport the berries home — a cooler is ideal for keeping them fresh on a hot day.

How much do u-pick blueberries cost in NC?

Prices vary by farm but typically range from $2 to $4 per pound for u-pick blueberries in the Triad area. Pre-picked blueberries are usually higher. Always check the farm’s website or Facebook page for current pricing.

How many blueberries should I pick?

A gallon container holds roughly 5–6 pounds of blueberries. For a family that wants fresh eating plus some to freeze, 10–15 pounds is a good target. Blueberries freeze exceptionally well, so don’t be afraid to pick more than you think you’ll eat right away.

What should I wear blueberry picking?

Wear closed-toe shoes — the fields can be uneven and wet in the mornings. Light-colored, comfortable clothing works best in the summer heat. Hats and sunscreen are a must, and bring water, especially if you’re bringing young kids.

Are blueberry farms kid-friendly?

Yes! Blueberry picking is one of the most toddler and kid-friendly farm activities available — the bushes are low, the berries are easy to pick, and kids love eating as they go. Just be prepared for purple-stained fingers and shirts.

Can I freeze fresh-picked blueberries?

Absolutely — blueberries are one of the easiest fruits to freeze. Rinse and dry them, spread in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze for a couple of hours, then transfer to zip-lock bags. They’ll keep for up to a year and are perfect for smoothies, muffins, and pancakes all winter.

Is there a difference between u-pick and pre-picked blueberries at these farms?

Yes. U-pick means you walk the fields and select your own berries, which is the more interactive and typically less expensive option. Pre-picked (or “already picked”) means the farm harvests for you and you purchase by the pound or pint at a stand. Some farms offer both options — check before you go.
