Klock Farm (Blueberries)

While other Blueberry Farms are done for the year, Klock Farms just started picking last weekend and will probably pick to  until mid Sept because of our higher elevation. Check the farm guide for directions.

Klock Blueberry Farm is open for U-Pick blueberries for members on Fridays from 9-6 and for all other folks on Saturdays and Sundays from 9-6 as long as the berries last. We pride ourselves in bush-ripened blueberries. Call Clair or Beverly at 504.695.5882 for details.
