Fresh bush-ripened blueberries are a highlight of every South Carolina summer. Take a morning and visit one of the farms below, where blueberry picking is delightful! An activity for all ages, blueberry bushes range in height all the way to 7′, so little ones can grab the berries at lower elevations and adults can pick from the top! Be certain to call ahead to make sure that conditions are right for picking. And get your South Carolina Agritourism Passport stamped while you’re there (pick up the passports at any participating farm)!
