Lost Branch Blueberry Farm

Located in Brashear, Missouri, this farm has become known for its you-pick berry experience. The farm manages 1,211 blueberry bushes across six varieties: Blue Crop, Blue Jay, Toro, Draper, Patriot, and Blue Ray. They have also expanded to include 415 Thornless Cado blackberries and 1,200 linear feet of thornless Joan J raspberries, with plans to add more in the future.

The farm emphasizes the importance of timing and natural cycles, noting that the availability of ripe fruit is ultimately up to natural conditions. Blueberry picking typically occurs from late June through early July, while raspberries and blackberries are expected to be ripe in early summer and early fall, respectively.
