Welcome to Trace Creek Blues Blueberries |
||||||||||||||||||||
|
Our u-pick and
pre-pick blueberry farm is located in rural Bollinger County, about 15
miles west of Marble Hill, MO.
Our 2009 blueberry season has drawn to a close. It was a very short, hot, and disappointing season. We had a very small crop and are sorry if we had to turn you away. The berries were just not out there. We are working to improve the pH and micronutrients of our soil, which we believe is most of the problem for our problems with the blueberries. We hope you will bear with us for next season. We would like to say a HUGE thanks to our wonderful picking crew who plugged away at it every day in spite of the unseasonable heat and poor picking conditions. You guys are awesome!!!
