Bluebird Farm

Description

Bluebird Farm is a family-run u-pick farm in Burgaw where kids can pick organically grown blueberries, cut their own flowers, and fish in a stocked pond. Blueberry picking runs May through July, and buckets are provided, so little pickers can fill a basket straight from the bush. In the flower field, families take a bucket and shears, cut the stems they like, and wrap a bouquet at the flower shed with complimentary paper and twine; pre-made bouquets are also available. The one-acre pond is stocked with bass, bluegill, crappie, and catfish, and fishing poles can be rented on the farm, which makes it an easy first fishing outing for children. A walking trail tours the property, and the resident horses and other livestock give kids animals to meet along the way. A seasonal farm store stocks garden produce, jams, baked goods, and local goods. Picking depends on the season, weather, and what is ready in the fields, so it is worth confirming current availability before planning a trip.
