GraBuck Farms is a homey welcoming place to come. It is a farm with gorgious views of land and plants. This farm is run by a man named Dave Buckley who is a lovely gentleman that loves his property, he is an old fashion and kind. The farm offers a blueberry, blackberry, and raspberry u-pick garden. It now mainly operates of blueberries alone; Dave says his blackberries and raspberries have unfortunately died off. The farm is very large with only about twenty blueberry bushes and some muscadines. It is possible to get a few blackberries but you would have to come very early in the season. His blueberry u-pick season lasts from the first of June to mid July, that's when he feels that his crop is at its best. He also has muscadines as well but with their season around September, it is just too difficult for him to open a u-pick in that season.

Dave waters all of his blueberry plants by well water on a drip system. He operates under a honor system and has had some of the same customers for up to a decade. His blueberry plants are also that old and some are even up to 20 to 25 years old. When I was there the bushes when some of the biggest it have seen. Dave doesn't advertise because he feels that he gets by on his loyal customers, and by the time he gets his advertisement in the paper his season is already over. He dosen't grow his fruit organic but he also dosen't put anything on them either; he is a all natural person you could say. Not only are Dave's blueberries delicious but also the cheapest in the area. Dave sells his blueberries for only a dollar fifty a pound. what a deal!
