Here in Sussex County, Delaware, there is a large blueberry farm near Dagsboro where you can go to pick your own berries. The fields are open 7 days a week. Here are some tips from a local:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Wear a hat no matter how overcast.<\/li>\n<li>Spray your legs with bug spray.<\/li>\n<li>Take water to drink.<\/li>\n<li>Bring a bucket! The farm provides buckets for picking, but don\u2019t forget to take containers to bring the berries home.<\/li>\n<li>Blueberries freeze well, but make sure you DON\u2019T rinse them before you freeze them.   Rinse them when you are ready to thaw and use them.<\/li>\n<li>They are sold by the pound. Here&#8217;s the best part: you can eat while you pick, and  they don\u2019t weigh you on the way out!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I use the berries for pies, muffins, pancakes and just plain old snacking. Close to home, fresh off the vine and supplying antioxidants that taste good &#8211; what a great way to spend an afternoon!<br \/>\nFor information call 302-238-7043.<br \/>\nHappy picking!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Barbara Dean is a Sussex County native, born and raised in Lewes, Delaware.
