Welcome to Sandy Bottom Berries!!  We are a small, family run, you pick berry farm.  Every aspect of our farm is managed, maintained and created with you in mind.  Our blueberries and raspberries (red & black),  are pruned specially for hand picking so that the berries are easy to pick for people of all sizes & ages. Tart cherries are also available for hand picking - and what awesome flavor when picked ripe from the tree!  And new in 2011, red, black, and white currants will be available, which make awesome jelly, juice and wine!  We welcome families with children of all ages (there is no age limit to pick, but we do ask that children be supervised at all times for their safety as well as ours).  We have picnic tables available if you would like to bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the country atmosphere.  We look forward to seeing our old friends and making some more new ones - see you in July for berries!  

May 2012

Spring has been quite the wild ride!  As you may be aware, the very warm temperatures in March were followed by more typical weather in April, but because all the fruit woke up early, most of the tree fruit in Michigan has been frozen out.  At this point, we believe most of the blueberry buds have made it thru the freezing temperatures in April, but we will have a better idea regarding damage by mid to late May.  We'll keep you posted.
