Support Local
We know it’s hard to resist trying our berries as you pick, therefore tasting is encouraged! For those delicious berries that everyone has enjoyed while picking we have an option to donate to local charities via our ‘Sin Bin’.
We’re happy to say that our generous pickers raised $3,835 during the 2022 season. Bartlett’s Blueberry Farm has contributed another $165 to make our grand total $4,000!!!
Donations from the Sin Bin and Bartlett’s Blueberry Farm for 2022 are directed to the following organizations:
Newport Food Pantry - $1,333 USD
Turning Points Network - $1,333 USD
Light Up Newport Fundraiser - $1,333 USD
Learn more about these organizations/fundraisers below.
Newport Food Pantry
In addition to a donation from the Sin Bin, each year we try to dedicate one day of picking for volunteers to pick as much as they can for the Newport Food Pantry.
Unfortunately we were not able to organize a picking day in 2022, but in 2021 our generous volunteers picked a total of
403.8 lbs!!
