Huntersmoon Farm - Blueberries - Oak Harbor, WA

One of the highlights for my boys on last years Whidbey Island Farm Tour, Huntersmoon Farm had a great farm for picking blueberries.  The people were exceptionally friendly, they had a variety of other items for sale at the entrance to the farm, and very easy access to the blueberries for toddlers.

From the farm tour website:

Huntersmoon Farm is a 10 acre, late season, organic blueberry farm. We grow Legacy, Aurora, and Elliott blueberries using sustainable agricultural practices, with respect and stewardship for the environment.  Our goal is to produce the finest tasting fruit possible and extend that quality in all our processed products.  For sale at the farm: plants; preserves; syrup; scone, pancake, and muffin mixes; white chocolate blueberry bark; dark chocolate covered blueberries; blueberry taffy; fresh blueberries; blueberry honey; and unique blueberry teas.  Fresh baked blueberry goods and sorbet can be eaten at the farm or to go.  Guests can u-pick, get a tour of the farm, or learn about biochar, compost tea, organic weed control, and all things blueberry.  Neighbor Farms will be invited to be on hand.  Our friends, the Oak Harbor Urban Farm will be on hand and Case Farm will join us on Sunday and will have a variety of vegetables for sale.

Directions: From Oak Harbor – travel north on SR 20 and turn right onto Fakkema. Turn right onto Taylor, turn left onto Silver Lake, turn left onto DeVries. At the bottom of the hill, turn right onto Bunch Lane. Farm is first house on the left.
