Blue Acres Blueberries

And just like that, the 2025/26 season has come to an end! 🫐 we are now CLOSED

Our page will be unmonitored from the end of the week until our season re-opens again later in December.
As stated in the past years, we do not know when the next season (2026/27) will begin. No update = no change! So please refrain from messaging or calling to ask as we will not respond until our page is monitored again. You will not receive a special secret response if you message, we wish we had a crystal ball too! 🔮

If you have any other questions or concerns from this week onwards please do not hesitate to contact Gloria on 021 169 8699 🫐

Thank you again to everyone for your continuing support. Our page has grown so much since launching in 2017 and everyone seems to really appreciate the time going into the daily posts. We now have over 11,000 people following this page and still have new faces at the farm! This is incredible for a local small business and it wouldn’t be like this without all of you! 🎉

Oh and lets give an extra special shout out and thanks to the boys running the ice cream truck each day we are open. What a treat to have them on site each day we were open. It makes coming out to pick just that little bit more fun! 🍦

All the best for 2026 and we will see you again in December 🤗

‼️A Gem Visa card has been found in the carpark and handed in to us so if you've misplaced yours today dm us with your name and we'll get it back to you 🫐

Good morning and happy last day of the season 🫐 yes that’s right today is our LAST day for PYO so get in quick while you still can!

You really will have to dig deep in the bushes to find good ripe berries so don’t just stop at the first bush you see, get deep into the bushes! There are not many out there now and our green ones won’t ripen at this stage of the season. We have been open for 4 weeks now and our bushes have done well to keep up with you busy pickers 😉

Please remember to bring plenty of cash and your own containers to pick into. Gates open at 9am but be prepared for an early closing if it starts to rain OR if we get picked over quickly as we are trying to beat the birds. We will update our page if there are any changes ☺️

‼️ CLOSURE DATES ‼️

After a busy 3 days of being open, we believe that this weekend may have been our last for this season. However we are going to be CLOSED for the next few days and then reassess Wednesday morning to allow the berries some rest and refresh time from the public

IF there are enough ripe berries out there and the weather is fine then we will open Wednesday 14 January for one last limited burst of picking

We will update our page in the next couple of days so please keep an eye out for our post if you are wanting to come out 🤗

It’s another fine sunny morning at the farm so we will be open today 🫐

If you have any lost property from our last post please dm us to arrange collection

We are berry thankful to Phill Robson Livestock for kindly donating some brand new buckets for our customers to borrow when picking

Now this is what we call the berry spirit 🫐✨

If you have any livestock needs contact Phill, we think he is pretty cool!

Please remember to still bring your own containers to transport your berries home in, but you are welcome to borrow our buckets to make picking easier 🫐

LOST PROPERTY FOR 2025/26

This is all the lost property that has been handed in this season and not claimed. If this is yours then this weekend could be your last time to collect so please dm us and we will put it aside 👓👒

Any unclaimed lost property at the end of the season will be given away

Good morning ☺️ some light rain at the farm last night but fine this morning so we will be open for PYO. The bushes may still be a bit damp so keep that in mind when you come out 🫐

Get in quick before the season ends!

Happy Friday! We will be open today for PYO 🫐 if there is any change to the weather we will update our page so please check here before coming out

Please remember your containers & cash. Gates open at 9am and last time to start picking is 2pm ☺️

‼️ Closure dates for this week (Tues, Wed & Thurs)‼️

We have been picked out! Our bushes need some untouched time from the public to rest and refresh. We will be CLOSED Tuesday 6 Jan through to Thursday 8 Jan and will re-assess Friday morning. Our next daily update will be Friday morning ☀️

The bushes and berries need time to ripen up again from all the picking you guys have done! We often do this during our seasons but haven’t done it yet for this season as we have only been closed wet days which doesn’t give the full effect

If we do open on Friday/the weekend we suggest coming out if you need more berries as this may be the last chance! 🤫

Good morning! Another fine and sunny morning so we will be open for PYO today 🫐 please remember to bring your own containers and plenty of cash!

We hate to have to make this type of comment on our page as most of you follow the rules but yesterday a lot of customers did not bring their own containers and or cash. We can kindly supply buckets for you to borrow to make picking easier, however these must be returned to us at the shed and your berries must go into your own containers. We suspect people were taking these home with them and if that continues we will no longer supply any buckets ☹️
There was also another instance where someone took a wheelbarrow that was full of picked berries by one of our pickers. This person took these berries for themselves and dumped the wheelbarrow. Again this is not cool and not in the spirit of berry picking. Please do not take berries from staff or other people who have put the hard work into picking them

LOST PROPERTY FROM TODAY

if any of these items (in particular the wallet & inhaler) please dm us. The inhaler has no name but wallet has personal information ☺️
