Litchfield Hills Blueberry Farm is situated on a beautiful hilltop among the scenic Litchfield Hills of Northwest Connecticut. The Town of Plymouth, home to this Berry Farm, is referred to as 'The Gateway to the Litchfield Hills'
This meticulously established 30 acre Pick-Your-Own Farm has over 11,000 'highbush' blueberry bushes and offers excellent picking conditions.
The berry season at Litchfield Hills provides a well-planned combination of early, mid, and late, season crop of several varieties of Blueberries. Highbush berries can grow 8-12 feet tall, and many varieties are exceptionally suitable for Zone 5. We prune our bushes to about 5-6 feet tall in order to accommodate easy, reachable picking.
The Farm has the following varieties;
Bluetta
medium-large berry size, early ripening, heavy crop of aromatic lightly flavored berries, very hardy, our shortest variety at about 4 feet.
Blueray very large berries with excellent flavor, a mid-season variety with productive clusters of tight berries.
Bluecrop large, light-colored blue mid-season berry with loose clusters, very good flavor, highly popular variety that travels/ships well.
Herbert very large (customers refer to this berry as 'almost plums'), hardy and productive on loose clusters, excellent flavor.
Coville
hardy and productive, loose clusters, very large berry with good flavor, mid to late-season ripening.
Wolcotts very delicious flavorful medium size berry, very popular for jams, jellies, sauces, and just plain snacking , loose clusters, highly productive, mid-season ripening
Zebras
medium dark berry with good flavor, mid to late-season ripening.
Patriot very popular early-season variety, dense foliage on a 'shorter' highbush of about 4-5 feet, very productive, excellent flavor
Duke an outstanding early-season variety, vigorous growth with very large fruit size and excellent flavor.
Please note that variety availability varies season to season and week to week. Maintenance of a healthy, productive Blueberry crop, is relative to the thoroughness in which each bush is harvested. Daily picking sites depend precisely on maturity of ripening berries.
A berry that is 'blue' in color, is not necessarily 'ripe' or at it's harvest peak. This is why you may pass several great looking, irresistible bushes on your way to the 'picking site'. Just know we are bringing you to the 'best berry today'.
We hope you vary your visit times to sample all the delicious varieties! Enjoy!
