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 $4,118 during the 2024 season!
Donations from the Sin Bin and Bartlett’s Blueberry Farm for 2024 are directed to the following organizations:
Newport Food Pantry
Turning Points Network
Road to Independence

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.
A SELECTION OF OUR VOLUNTEERS!
Turning Points Network
Turning Points Network is a private, non-profit agency offering crisis and support services to female and male survivors of domestic violence, sexual violence and stalking.
All direct services are free and confidential. TPN works with survivors, their friends and loved ones, service providers and concerned community members.
Road to Independence
Road To Independence is a non-profit, non-riding equine program for individuals with differing abilities. The goal of their program is, together with their donkey herd, to offer meaningful experiences for their participants while providing valuable life skills that can enhance other aspects of their lives.
Donations to Road To Independence allow the non-profit to provide care for the donkeys that has increased substantially over the years (medical care, dental care, special diets, need for pasture space, and storage). With support from fundraising they continue to provide and expand the empowering experiences that come from interacting with the donkeys.
