Texas Blueberry Farms

I love the Lone Star State! Proud Texan here! From the State Fair of Texas to a fun night out enjoying Tex-Mex with friends, this is a great place to call home! One of my favorite outdoor summer activities is spending a few hours picking Texas Blueberries right off the bushes! Typically I make blueberry jam with those delicious Texas Blueberries. And of course a blueberry cobbler! Is your mouth watering? Let’s discover some of the best Texas Blueberry Farms!

Blueberry Hill Farms

Blueberry Hill Farms is located in Edom, about 1.5 hours east of Dallas.

General Tips for Blueberry Picking

I’ve been picking blueberries for almost 20 years now. A lot of fun! But, like most outdoor summer activities in Texas, you should plan ahead. Here’s my tips to ensure a fun day for everyone!

Always check the website of the Texas Blueberry Farms you are considering visiting! Texas Blueberries ripen at different times, and most farms keep visitors up-to-date on their website with the best days to pick-your-own fruit.

Texas is HOT in the summer, and Texas Blueberries ripen in June and July. Start your day EARLY. Best to pick in the morning before the day gets totally out-of-control hot!

Wear the correct clothes! Hats help with the heat. And for the uninitiated, blueberry bushes grow in full sun. There’s absolutely no shade!!! And, I encourage closed toed shoes! Have you ever encountered a fire ant? It’s not fun! Protect your toes!
