Michigan Blueberries are the Best!

Did you know that the number one state for highbush blueberry production is Michigan? Growers produce over 100 million pounds of blueberries every year. Most growers are located in southwest Michigan cultivating over 20 blueberry varieties; however, a few varieties will grow in the northern portion of Michigan.

At Czaika’s Blueberry Farm located at 838 Legget Road in Tawas City, you can pick your own. Czaika’s is a family business that began in the early 1950’s. Owned and operated by Joe and Sharon Czaika’s whose goal was to retire to Tawas to run the U-PICK blueberry farm. The berries have a very short harvest season. Opening day is Saturday, August 15, 2015 from sunrise to sunset. Hours throughout the picking season are 8:00 am to 8:00pm. To get the latest picking information, please call 989-362-4638. You can either bring your own containers or borrow buckets. Cost is $1.30 per pound.

Breakfasts in August, will definitely be a blueberry theme.
