Blueberry Picking Near the Bay Area
After tasting the incredibly sweet and flavorful blueberries my friend picked herself—way better than anything from the supermarket—we decided to go picking together. It’s about an hour’s drive one way, and though it was my first time visiting the area, it was totally worth the trip! 📍 Address: Ott Farms 3083 Shiloh Rd, Modesto You can pick blueberries 🫐 and cherries 🍒 (we stuck to just blueberries this time). I’ve heard this year’s blueberries aren’t as large as in previous seasons, but since it was our first time, we were pretty happy with what we found 😂. 💵 Payment Options: Cash: $3.50/lb Credit Card: $3.75/lb ☀️ Friendly Reminder: The fields are completely exposed to the sun, so sun protection is a must! Try to go as early as possible while it’s still cool—the midday heat can be absolutely brutal. 📅 Opening Hours: Thursday to Sunday, 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM They provide bags for picking, but you’re also welcome to bring your own bucket 🪣. A fun and fruity way to spend a morning—perfect for families, couples, or solo adventurers! Don’t forget your hat, sunscreen, and plenty of water. Happy picking! 🌞🧺 #OttFarms#Modesto#California#travelguiide#CaliforniaModesto
