Meet Wendy, Don and the kids!
At Berrylicious, we grow fresh, locally grown fruit you can trust — blueberries, raspberries, elderberries, and now apples — perfect for eating fresh, baking, preserving, or sharing around the table with the people you love.
When you visit or shop with us, you get more than fruit:
- Real farm-fresh berries you picked yourself or bought straight from the grower
- Space to breathe, explore, and reconnect outdoors
- Meaningful moments — picking, picnics, and simple farm experiences thoughtfully prepared so your family can simply arrive and enjoy
We’re farmers with a purpose — and that purpose is creating a place families genuinely enjoy coming back to.
After studying horticulture, we started Berrylicious in 2002 with a simple goal: grow fruit that’s delicious, local, and truly worth the drive. Every row, every season, and every event is designed so you can feel confident about what you’re feeding your family and relaxed knowing the day is already planned for you.
We understand how quickly childhood passes, because ours unfolded right here on this farm — muddy boots, berry-stained hands, and moments we wish we could bottle forever.
Our four kids began helping here at eight years old, and even now — between university schedules and full-time careers — they still come home during harvests, markets, and farm days. Berrylicious is more than a farm to us; it’s a place built around family, connection, and coming home.
And when you visit, it becomes part of your story too.
Our family can’t wait to host yours.
We’ve already done the planning — all you have to do is show up.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABLITY
Efficient Water Use
- Blueberries need 1 inch of water per week during active growth.
- We use drip irrigation to deliver water directly to the shallow root zone — reducing evaporation, drift, and waste.
- In 2022, we doubled our drip tape to increase water delivery speed.
- We're exploring pulsation systems to further improve water efficiency and plant growth.
- Mulching for Moisture Retention
- We apply mulch to all fruit crops to reduce moisture loss, build soil organic matter, and cut down on irrigation needs during dry spells.
- Pollinator Habitat Conservation
- Unlike many farms, we’ve preserved natural fence rows, scrub brush, and forest canopy to support pollinator populations.
- Native pollinators like bumble bees, honey bees, Mason bees, wasps, and others thrive here.
- Sod between blueberry rows provides additional habitat for ground-dwelling pollinators.
HUMANITY & SUSTAINABILITY
Berry Therapy: Nature-Based Calm
- We offer Pick-Your-Own (PYO) and Picnic Experiences to help guests slow down, connect with nature, and enjoy the calming effects of repetitive tasks like berry picking.
- Simple, hands-on tasks (e.g. picking, weeding) help quiet anxious thoughts and promote a peaceful state of mind — we call it "berry therapy."
Mindfulness on the Farm
- Meditation signs throughout the berry patch guide peaceful reflection.
- We host Monday Meditation in the Patch with YogAmanda to support mental well-being through movement and mindfulness.
COMMUNITY
Supporting Local
- We hire local staff and source all ingredients and supplies from nearby businesses.
- We regularly collaborate with local vendors to co-host events and cross-promote one another.
Pick a Pint for Charity (est. 2017)
- Customers are invited to pick an extra pint of berries during Berry Days and Picnic Experiences.
- Berrylicious donates the berries; guests donate their time.
- All berries are frozen and donated to Operation Sharing in Woodstock to support food-insecure community members.
Ongoing Volunteering
- In the off-season, Wendy volunteers half a day per week at Operation Sharing, helping with meal prep, service, and clean-up in their soup kitchen.
- This kitchen provides homemade meals three times per week for those in need — a heartfelt act of both giving and receiving.
