The Best Time to Pick Blueberries

The Best Time to Pick Blueberries in Washington

There’s nothing quite like picking a fresh blueberry straight from the bush. Washington blueberry season is a favorite part of summer, bringing families and friends to local farms for blueberry picking and U-Pick adventures.


When Is Blueberry Season in Washington?

When are blueberries in season in Washington? Washington blueberry season typically begins in June and continues through August, although the exact timing can vary each year depending on weather, growing conditions, and blueberry varieties.


In the Auburn Valley and Puget Sound region, blueberry U-Pick season generally takes place during the heart of summer. If you're searching for blueberry farms near Auburn, WA or blueberry farms near Seattle, checking individual farms for current picking conditions and hours is the best way to plan your visit.


When Is the Best Time to Pick Blueberries?

The best time to pick blueberries is when the berries are fully ripe, plump, and deep blue. Ripe blueberries should come off the bush easily with a gentle touch.


For the best U-Pick blueberry experience:

  • Early season: Enjoy the excitement of the first ripe blueberries.
  • Mid-season: Find bushes with plenty of ripe fruit ready for picking.
  • Late season: You may still find delicious berries, depending on the weather and crop.
  • Before you visit: Check farm updates, since blueberry ripening can change from week to week.
  • Morning picking: Cooler temperatures can make for a more comfortable farm visit.

Tips for a Great Blueberry U-Pick Day

A little preparation can make your blueberry picking adventure even better. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes, bring sunscreen and water, and don't forget your own basket or container for your fresh-picked blueberries.


U-Pick is about more than filling a basket. It's a chance to spend time outdoors, enjoy the Auburn Valley, and connect with a local farm while enjoying blueberries picked straight from the bush.
