While my family was in town, it was the perfect opportunity to take advantage of some more of our family ties by visiting my cousin Chuck and his wife JoAnn's blueberry farm in Galway. Their property is the perfect place for this venture that began about five years ago. That's when they received over 2800 blueberry bushes that they planted. Since then they have removed the berries early, so that the strength goes towards making the plants bigger. This year will be their first year of letting them totally ripen and they will be ready for picking.

Not only will you be able to pick your own berries, but they are also planting a huge field of flowers for the picking. Plus they are in the process of building a store with all sorts of big plans for the future.
Best of luck to both of them and check out Star Farm Blueberries' website and Facebook page. Then you'll know when it's time to go visit there and see all they have to offer!
