Our U-Pick field is going to open on the 15th of July. The Verity is Blue Crop, and the price is $2.50 per pound. We recommend that you bring your own containers, and leave your dogs in the car, or at home. We also ask that you don’t smoke while in the field. This year the berries are bigger than ever, and as sweet as can be. Our hours are 8am to 6pm Monday through Sunday. We will have our U-Picks open for at least three weeks. We are all really excited to finally get the U-Picks started, we know how long everyone has been waiting and wondering when we are going to open the U-picks up. We have had to wait because of the weather, we haven't had much sun and so the berries are big and blue but they were sour, however they have been getting sweeter with everyday that passes. Hope to see you all out at our farm picking berries!

Put ingredients in blender, juice and berries first. Blend. Add ice to get preferred consistency. (I like using apple juice with about 1 cup of ice, but the Wilts like orange juice).

I love blueberry crisp, but I have to eat Gluten Free. Because of my restricted diet, I really appreciate the added nutrients that come from Sunset Valley Organics Blueberries. This works just as well with Frozen Berries as fresh, so it can be made any time of the year. Try this one out, and tell me what you think.
Gluten Free Blueberry Crisp
2 Pints (3-4 cups) Fresh or Frozen Blueberries - washed
1 cup gluten free all purpose flour (I used Pamela's wheat free bread mix)
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup Shortening (Butter or Margarine depending on your sensitivity to dairy)
1/3 cup gluten free oats
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Grease the bottom of an 8 x 8 baking dish.
Mix the blueberries with 2 Tbs of the flour mixture and place in the dish.
Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, oats and shortening. Use a fork to mix the shortening through the mixture. Hint: the shortening works best if cold / solid.
Pour mixture over the top of the blueberries and bake in oven for 30 minutes or until it bubbles and the crust is browned.
I need to thank my friends at the GF/CF forum for this one. -- Its awesome!
