About Us
Heritage Blueberries
Our crop is on target this year to be tremendous, and we look forward to sharing it with you as circumstances allow. Heritage rabbiteye blueberry varieties developed in the Southeast flourish in the heat and humidity of the Lowcountry. Fruit on more than nearly 3000 bushes ripens beginning in June through the summer, and these huge deliciously fresh and sweet berries are handpicked and available at our Certified South Carolina roadside farm market in season.
Our pick-your-own season opens with our 10th annual Lowcountry Blueberry Festival scheduled for June 28, 2020. Whether you have picked blueberries before or if this is your first chance, you will find plenty of perfectly ripe and delicious berries. We also have limited quantities of pre-picked blueberries and all our farm products available in our on-farm market.
Blue Pearl Farms sells our field dug blueberry bushes throughout the year in our farm nursery.
Lowcountry Bees
We keep about a hundred colonies of honeybees at our blueberry farm on the edge of the Francis Marion National Forest and other locations that provide the unique flavor of the lowcountry straight from the bees...never flavored or adulterated, always raw and delicious. Come out for a personal apiary experience or beekeeping workshop for hands on experience with the bees.
Blue Crab, straight from clean salty waters
Once the blueberry harvest ends, we begin crabbing in the Crab Bus, working the clean waters surrounding the marshes and barrier islands of the Cape Romain wilderness. We focus on high quality and good, heavy crabs for discerning clients.
Find the Taxi Crab (our custom rolling cooler) loaded with freshly harvested and chilled crabs at the farm every day, and at Guy C Lee Building Materials (2985 Hwy 17 in Mt Pleasant) Fridays after 2 pm and Saturdays after 1 pm.
Organic greenhouse nursery & plants
Feed yourself and the bees with herbs and pollinator garden plants grown on the farm in our organic nursery. Stop in at the succulent greenhouse and choose some to pot up while you are here.
We focus on healthy plants that will do well in a range of conditions. Herbs available all year, so come by for a nursery tour on a Sunday afternoon or by appointment.
