Some know this and some do not but we grow blueberries at the orchard. We had big plans for a PYO blueberry patch years ago but our plants had a different idea. At this point (13 years later) we have more blueberries than we can pick just for our family but not enough to just open right up to the public. If you're interested in berries be sure to sign up for our newsletter (bottom of the main page of lapaceksorchard.com) and keep an eye on social media around July for small pop up PYO times!
