Nova Scotia Certified Organic U-Pick Wild Blueberries

Siblings Bill and Colleen Cameron are co-owners of BeeCee Farms, part of which is a certified organic, wild blueberry farm. Our vision is to have an environmental, financial and socially sustainable, organic wild blueberry business that provides people and business with access to affordable, healthy food.

U-Pick and Cleaning Process

One of the unique benefits of picking your own berries at BeeCee Farms is that we are able to field clean the berries on the spot. This allows the customer to pick large quantities of berries in a relatively short period of time. Many people are able to pick 20 lbs in 20 minutes.

Sorted, Graded, & Cleaned Berries

These berries are processed by a line cleaner where the berries are first cleaned by removing debris, then graded for size with smaller and immature berries removed, before finally removing any remaining stems or green berries by hand.

About The Field Cleaner

The field cleaner is the one that we used in the late 1950’s and 60’s. It is able to blow out the grass and leaves along with some large debris. U-pickers take home clean berries along with an occasional green berry or bit of stem. This year we have invested in a cleaning table where the berries are picked over by hand so are now able to offer this extra cleaning process.
