Pick Blueberries at Eagle Tree Farm, another recycled post

Hooray! It is blue­berry pick­ing sea­son again! I have not been to the farm yet this year to update details, but look for­ward to vis­it­ing soon. Here’s the scoop from last year:

Eagletree Farm & Vineyard
15126 Harrison Hill Lane
Leesburg VA 20176 (map it)
(703) 777‑5954 or (703) 851‑0699

Loudoun Valleys Office of Rural Economic Development says:

Eagletree is a pri­vate set­ting with a per­sonal touch.

These folks are right. Located off Rt. 15 north of Leesburg — you turn off 15 like you are going to Temple Hall Farm and then fol­low the U-PICK signs — the set­ting is so pri­vate that I at first felt like I was tres­pass­ing in someone’s back yard, but that is exactly what makes the pick­ing expe­ri­ence so wonderful.

Eagle Tree’s pick your own blue­ber­ries are $4 per pound this year and worth every cent. They are tasty and the expe­ri­ence of pick­ing is per­fect. I have been twice and both times it was a serene expe­ri­ence. No chaos, no crowds, no short­age of blue­ber­ries… just a nice lit­tle fam­ily expe­ri­ence and some yummy blue­ber­ries to boot.

If you are look­ing to round out your blue­berry pick­ing expe­ri­ence with some lit­er­a­ture for lit­tle peo­ple, check out Robert McCloskey’s Blueberries for Sal. It’s been a favorite since my child­hood… so much so that I feel I am short­chang­ing my chil­dren if I don’t man­age to hunt down their lit­tle metal buck­ets so that they can hear their blue­ber­ries go “Kerplunk!”
