Blueberry Picking Season Begins at Walnut Springs Farm, Maryland
US · Published Jun 19, 2026
Blueberry picking season is officially underway at Walnut Springs Farm, located on Blue Ball Road in Maryland.
The farm is inviting the public to participate in its you-pick blueberry operation starting this Saturday from 8 a.m.

Why It's Important?

The blueberry picking season at Walnut Springs Farm provides a valuable opportunity for local residents to access fresh, seasonal produce while supporting regional agriculture. However, the late April frost that devastated 90% of Milburn Orchards' fruit crop highlights the vulnerability of local farms to extreme weather events. This loss underscores the importance of community support and adaptive strategies for agricultural sustainability. The Maryland Department of Agriculture's efforts to address environmental justice could further enhance resilience and equity in the state's agricultural sector.
