When is Michigan Blueberry Season? That’s a great question! Michigan’s blueberry season starts in mid-July and can last into September thanks to the number of varieties grown here. In the past we’ve picked blueberries with cherries in early July and with apples in early September

Blueberry Picking Tips
Be sure to check with the farm for current conditions before making the trip. Early or late in the season, farms often close early or for a few days to wait for berries to ripen.
What to Bring:
- Dress for the weather. We have picked when it was hot in July and cool in September.
- Sunscreen
- Bug spray
- Water – make sure to stay hydrated
- Bring a container or use one of theirs. Some places charge for picking containers.
- Cash or check. Some farms don’t accept credit cards.
Blueberries are a great fruit to pick with young children. Blueberry bushes are low to the ground and don’t have thorns like raspberry bushes.
Make sure to have a plan for what to do with your freshly picked blueberries. I always like to make blueberry waffles or pancakes the day I pick them.
