What are some U-pick Maine blueberry fields?
There are plenty of U-pick Maine blueberry fields to choose from.
- There’s nothing like fresh berries for jam, pies, and snacks, and you can pick your own at Libby & Son U-Picks, a beautiful U-pick blueberry farm in Limerick. The farm has more than 40 acres of blueberries, raspberries, and plum, peach, and apple trees. Bring the whole family to pick fresh fruit. These juicy little gems are just waiting to be plucked from the blueberry bushes to be made into jam, added into baked goods, or eaten right out of your hand!
- For a U-pick experience that's also a foraging adventure, follow the Blueberry Ridge Trail all the way up to the summit for beautiful views of the surrounding Evans Notch area. It may be one of the most scenic hikes in Maine. Reaching the summit of Blueberry Mountain in Maine is best for experienced hikers. While not terribly difficult, there are some areas that will require scrambling over rocks. With an altitude of 1,750 feet, it's definitely a hearty hike. The roundtrip will be about 4.5 miles, making it a fun day hike adventure... especially in the summer. Why? Because if you tackle this trail in August, you'll have the luxury of picking all the blueberries you want near the summit. We recommend bringing a plastic container to avoid crushing the wild sweets in your hurry to go bake them into pancakes and muffins!
