PickersPass & PickersPass+ Questions

When can I come to use my PickersPass?

Blueberry season runs from approximately July 7 through August 10. PYO is open from 8am-5pm everyday. Once the blueberry season opens, PickersPass members are welcome to come as many times as they would like to pick their 10 lbs of berries. You can do it all at once or split it into many trips. Feel free to bring friends and helpers and you are welcome to pick extra berries if you’d like. Any berries over the 10 lbs can be purchased for $4.50/lb.

How do I use PickersPass?

When you arrive at the farm for picking, please review the PYO Information Board at the front of the Cafe & Market to see what varieties and fields are open. Be sure to wash your hands and either grab one of our harvest buckets and food grade liner or use your own bucket with a complimentary food grade liner and head out to the fields! Once you are done picking, please return to the store to weigh the berries. Please let staff know your name and that you are a PickersPass member and they will deduct your berries from your account.

LocaBox Questions

What’s in a LocaBox?

The Locabox is a curated selection of fruits and vegetables that are selected each week based on seasonality. Each box has between 6-10 different items and is geared for 2-4 people. The majority of the food is sustainably grown by LocaBerry at Emery Farm and some items are from other neighboring farms and orchards.

What if I am away for a LocaBox pick-up? 

As a LocaBox member, you commit to the full season and we create our planting and harvesting plan based on that commitment. If you are unable to make it to a pick up because of travel, we urge you to give that week’s box to a friend or family member. They just have to let us know when they pick up that they are “adopting” your share for the week. It's a great way to share the bounty with other foodies! If there is an emergency or something comes up, please reach out to Farmer Jameson as soon as possible and we may be able to arrange a pick up the next day. Refrigerated storage space is limited, thank you for understanding.
