Please note that we are a family run, working farm.

Please be aware that at
times there are kids playing, loose dogs and horses being ridden on the driveway--so please drive slowly--5mph.
- We provide the picking buckets but you are welcome to bring your own.

Community Involvement
Picking for the Food Pantries Special - Being held early in 2016. See above for details.
This event is usually held each year on Labor Day Monday, but may change due to picking conditions. To glean the blueberry fields we offer a "Picking for the Food Pantries" day. Pick blueberries
for free that day. Keep half of what you pick for yourself and the other half Berry Best Farm will deliver as a donation to a local food pantry.
2014: 550 lbs. of blueberries were donated to eight local food pantries! Thank you to our customers who helped us help others in our community!
Three Rivers Land Trust
Preserving and Protecting our Farmland for the Future
In 2010 Berry Best Farm was protected from future development by the Three Rivers Land Trust (3RLT) www.3RLT.org The loss of viable farmland in York County is becoming an increasing concern. Have you noticed how often housing developers have snatched up open fields for housing--land not likely to be ever tilled again, land lost as open space, land available for food production, pasture or potential forest? We have been concerned and thinking about this issue for some time, but when a nearby field recently sprouted seven houses, we knew it was time to put actions in place. For the past 11 years, 3RLT has been helping landowners preserve and conserve our natural resources. With the help of 3RLT volunteers and through numerous meetings an agreement was drawn up which protects our farm forever from development to be enjoyed by future generations.
