To my surprise, it's right along rt. 9...right before the Walmart in Lanoka Harbor, depending if you're going north or south.

I did see a tent there before but I never thought about it. Today I'm glad I turned to the right, right into the drive-way of the blueberry patch.

It's literally called U Pick Blueberries.

They provide the buckets only. There are no public bathrooms but there is a port-a-potty. Pets are not allowed and a friendly reminder sunscreen and bug spray is advised.

According to their Facebook page, the 2022 season just began this weekend. Hours for blueberry picking are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday 8 am - 3 pm and Friday, Saturday, and Sunday 8 am - 4pm. U Pick Blueberries only accepts cash only and it's $3 per pound.

U Pick Blueberries is located at 611 Rt. 9 in Lanoka Harbor. The key to picking good blueberries - pick the ripest of the bunch and their coloring should be a greyish blue.

Blueberry picking season in New Jersey is the end of June to the end of July. Weather permitting you could still pick a good bunch in the beginning of August.

Blueberry picking is a lot of fun for the whole family. I will tell you it gets hot out there, so maybe a little fan around your neck would cool you off and a bottle of water. Bring some water with you, have fun.

We had so much fun this past weekend. The blueberries were fresh, big, and delicious. I promise you your family will have a lot of fun and so close to home.

Incase you missed it, just like me:
