Fishkill Farms: A Sweet Blueberry-Picking Adventure in NY! 🫐🌿

Just spent the most delightful morning at Fishkill Farms picking sun-ripened blueberries with friends! We booked the 10 AM slot ($24 for up to 5 people to share 2 pints of berries)—what a steal for a wholesome outdoor activity! 🎟️💙 💡 Blueberry Picking Pro Tips: • Not all that glitters is sweet! Many berries look blue but are still tart—only pluck the deep-blue, easily detachable ones. 🧐🔍 • Patience is key: Each cluster might have just 1-2 ripe berries, so take your time! We spent 1.5 hours filling our boxes (perfect with today’s cloudy breeze—avoid midday sun, as shade is scarce!). ⏳☁️ 🍽️ On-Site Eats & Drinks: Though we skipped it, the farm’s Treasury Cider Bar and grill looked tempting: 🍔 Hot eats: Cheeseburgers, hot dogs, pasta salad (with roasted veggies + mozzarella) 🍿 Snacks: Popcorn, chips, gooey chocolate cookies ($3!) 🍻 Drinks: Draft cider (vegan/gluten-free!), Sloop craft beer, plus pretzels & cheese boards. 🌳 Vibe Check: Spacious rows, no crowds—just chatting and berry-hunting under open skies. Photo ops everywhere! 📸🌤️ ⏰ Must-Bring List: • Hat + sunscreen (seriously, it gets toasty!) • Reusable bags (for your haul) + napkins (sticky fingers await). 📍 Fishkill Farms 📌 Address: NY (exact location on their site) #NYCLife #WeekendVibes #PickYourOwn #BlueberrySeason #NYCFarms #SummerInNY #UpstateNY #Agritourism #FarmFresh #ExploreNY
