What visitors say
This charming location is a must-visit, especially during blueberry season. Visitors rave about the experience of picking their own blueberries, though long sleeves are recommended due to insects. If picking isn’t for you, pre-picked berries are readily available. A delightful terrace offers a relaxing spot to enjoy coffee, tea, blueberry pie, and ice cream. A small shop features a variety of blueberry-themed products, including jams, juices, wines, and even blueberry cheese, perfect for souvenirs or gifts. The staff is consistently praised for being friendly and welcoming. While a good weather is desired, the location also offers takeaway options, and vending machines are available for ease of purchase. All in all, a great place to visit with something delicious for everyone.
