Pick-Your-Own Blueberries

Last summer, I picked blueberries in Millington at Harris Farms. The family grows mature bushes on a rise behind their produce stand. The experience was kicked back and charming, and I could buy produce in addition to the berries.

This year, Susan Ellis and I headed to Nesbit, Mississippi, to pick blueberries at the Nesbit Blueberry Plantation. The name pretty much explains the scope of the place: 20,000 bushes cover 22 acres; golf carts transport berry pickers to the field; and adorable baby donkeys add appeal on the way in and the way out.
