2011 Season. WE HAVE PLANTS!

2011-04-24T09:58:00.000-07:00

Hello all!
Though it has been a rough spring thus far; weather wise, things are looking up!
For one, it's blueberry plant time!
We have three year old Duke and Blue Crop plants for fifteen dollars apiece.
They are really nice, good-sized plants that are already budding.

We are open anytime and just give Stan a call at (208)610-8401 or send him an email at our new web address: stanurmann@yahoo.com.

Season 2010

2010-07-30T20:16:00.000-07:00

Back again!

The berries this season are phenomenal and there are a ton! Too many for me to count, that's for sure!

We started picking about the second or third week in July, and things are picking up to full swing now as we move into August. But don't worry busy, summer-lovers! We should have a great crop of berries through Labor Day.

Same as last year we have already-picked fresh berries that are sold in our store for $15 a gallon and (When we have them out there) $5 a quart.

U-pick is still $2.00/lb.

Jam, syrup, topping and vinaigrette is sold for $3.50.

The stores we provide to are:
All Super-1 stores
5 different Yokes locations
and Miller's in Spirit Lake.

Any other questions feel free to call at (208) 263-4114 (if nobody answers, leave a message! But most often the recording is pretty helpful!)
Or email Stan (the man) at urmann@wildblue.net

Oh yeah! We are open 7 days a week, all daylight hours. (meaning when the sun comes out, until you can't see your hand in front of your face)

Season Comes to an End, but Frozen Berries Galore!

2009-11-04T09:44:00.000-08:00

As the season came to an end, and we ran out of the fresh berries. Frozen berries took their place in our walk-in freezer. Typically, by November we are out of frozen berries as well, but this year we will more than likey have berries through February or March.

They are running at $15.00/gallon.

We are selling these Frozen berries at Yoke's in Sandpoint and Mitchell's in
Priest River, as well.

Blueberry Update: August 29th 2008

2008-08-28T16:13:00.000-07:00

Hey Blueberry Fans! Sorry we haven't posted this year! Things have been crazy! Because of the insane winter we had this year, the blueberries were a couple weeks late. Even with the late start and bad winter, we are well on our way to a record crop. In the past the blueberries are usually winding up by now, but fear not, we have at least two more weeks!

Unfortunatly (like everything else) we had to raise our prices a tad. But don't worry, the changes are barely noticeable!

Gallon Bag (5 lbs.)- $15.00

U-pick- $2.00/lb

Toppings-3.50

Once again, we are selling at the Kootenai and Sandpoint markets, but we are no longer seliing through the Super 1 stores.

I think that about does it. Please come out and pick!
