The 4th Annual Blueberry Festival at The Apple Barn

A special festival feature
This year we are excited to introduce The Pollinator Kitchen and Bee Yard, an interactive experience for the whole family.
Meet local beekeepers and learn how pollinators make blueberries possible. Discover why buzzing insects are essential to berry production and why healthy pollinators matter to our food system.
Then step into our Pollinator Kitchen where kids and adults can take part in a short, hands on food experience. Using simple ingredients, families will transform cream into butter, finished with local honey and fresh blueberries. It is a small moment that tends to stop people in their tracks and make food feel magical again.
Why Blueberry Festival
Blueberries represent abundance, patience, and care. They do not happen by accident. They require healthy land, hardworking farmers, and thriving pollinators. This festival is our way of celebrating that connection and sharing it with our community in a way that feels fun, welcoming, and meaningful.
Whether you come for the picking, the bake off, the kids activities, or simply to wander and enjoy the day, we hope you leave with a deeper appreciation for where food comes from and a few sweet memories to take home.
Bring the kids. Bring your friends. Bring your love of blueberries. We cannot wait to celebrate with you.
