Welcome!

We are a small 2.5-acre blueberry farm in Salem, Oregon. Our primary business is U-pick, but we also offer ReadyPick options as well.

This 2022 season we are managing part of the field next door and have an additional 1.25-acre of blueberries to pick!

You can enjoy 6 varieties of blueberries at our farm: Blue Crop and Blueray are the bulk of the crops, Earliblues are the first ones to ripen in the season, followed by Dukes, and we also have Jerseys and Olympias.

We aim to maintain and nurture these long-established bushes and provide a nice setting for our customers to enjoy. We follow minimal chemical use practices, spot spraying the ground to control weeds with organic or berry specific products. We do not use pesticides and we do not spray anything on the fruit nor on the bushes.

During regular season, an attendant is available every day from 8 A.M. until 8 P.M. Please visit our Facebook page for season announcements, updates, and changes.

We offer a large parking area, picnic area with a couple of tables and umbrellas, portable toilets and a sink.

Pets are not allowed in the blueberry rows. If a pet happens to be in tow, we have areas to hang out while leashed, or shady spots to park in.

We prefer cash, but also accept local checks and debit/credit cards. Please make checks payable to Thank You Berry Much Farms (TYBMF).

About Us

Thank You Berry Much Farms is owned and operated by the Wheeler family. In 2013 the family purchased a 10 acre property, with 2.5 acres of blueberries already in place since the 1970s. Until the family purchased the farm, the berries had been kept mostly as a commercial operation. The Wheeler family chose to dedicate the berries to a full-time u-pick operation.

Before moving to the farm, the family lived in Keizer for 18 years. Mike is a Certified Forester and works at Northwest Farm Credit Services in the appraisal department. He is a Navy veteran who served on the U.S.S. Merrill (DD-976). Cristina is the queen of the farm, and also works as a part-time Spanish translator for the City of Salem. She enjoys beekeeping and is a member of Willamette Valley Beekeeper's Association. Jonathon is the owner/operator of Ice IT Support and provides technical services to the farm. He is also a volunteer Resource Leader for Marion County Sheriff's Search and Rescue. Julia is a ballroom dance instructor at Arthur Murray Dance Studio in Salem and continues to help at the farm on her time off.
