If you like blueberries, you can pick your own at White Oak Farm in Renick, WV. We were up early to go blueberry picking and from Lewisburg, this was a beautiful scenic 30-minute drive to Renick, a rural farming community.
Upon arriving at the White Oak Farm in Renick, we parked and walked over to the purchasing area. We were given buckets that had a rope that you tie around your waist, so your hands are free for picking. Each bucket had a plastic bag liner. Once you are finished picking, and go to check out, the bag is taken out of the bucket and weighed.
Our buckets were full of blueberries. We picked a total of 16 pounds and the cost was $28.00. We had two and a half buckets and we were there for one hour.
The owners, Max and Anne Robinson, use minimal pesticides, to produce naturally healthy berries. They are grown in mulched beds with mowed aisles that really made it easy for us to access the berries with ease. The Robinson’s suggest …. before freezing the blueberries clean the berries, removing stems and leaves...BUT DO NOT WASH. Put them in freezer bags, and wash the berries when you are ready to eat them.
Located 16 miles north of the Lewisburg; Interstate 64, Exit 169, follow US Rt. 219 North to Renick. Turn right on Brownstown Road. White Oak Farm is 1 1/2 miles.
