The honor system works, and your word is all we need. Be sure to reserve enough for your freezer to get you through until next season! (There are just over 7 quarts in a box.) We fill orders on a first-come, first-served basis.\u00a0<strong>Note: We process\u00a0a limited number of boxes every day.\u00a0 We highly recommend ordering early.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><u><strong>Step 2<\/strong> &#8211; Choose between \u201cFlexible-Date\u201d and \u201cSpecific-Date\u201d<\/u><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><u>Flexible-date orders<\/u>, the most popular for our local customers, are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.\u00a0 When your blueberries have been harvested and are in the barn chilling for processing, we send you an e-mail and let you know you can pick them up the next afternoon.<\/li>\n<li><u>Specific-date orders<\/u> let you choose a pickup date between August 8\u00a0and 17<sup>.<\/sup>(except for Sundays, and subject to change as the crop ripens). We do our very best to fill your order on the date you request, but any rain (even a brief shower) stops the harvest.
