Farms to visit to pick your own blueberries in western Massachusetts

CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) – It’s blueberry season, and what better way to get into the 4th of July spirit than picking your own!

Blueberries are commonly used in 4th of July desserts, so if you want the best ones for your party, it’s best to pick them fresh. Blueberry picking season is typically from mid-July to the end of August when blueberries are ripe and ready for picking, according to Mass.gov, so it’s the perfect time to pick some fresh berries. It’s fun and great exercise, and you can’t get any fresher than picking your own.
