Colburn and her children, residents of Salamanca, spend time a small U-pick blueberry farm along Ten Mile Road in Allegany, having fun while filling buckets with berries. Blueberries are currently ripening across the region from the Ten Mile Road farm to Bozberry Farms in Turtlepoint, Pa. Childs Blueberry Farm, located on Cooper Hill in the Humphrey area, also is reporting that their “U-pick” operation will begin Aug. 1. At the Ten Mile farm — owned by Jon and Debbie Burgess, Jessica Colburn, her children, Shelby and Andrew, and their friend, Zariah Armstrong — were busy picking from the 350 bushes on the small hillside farm. Colburn said the outing is an annual summer activity for them, a tradition that spans several generations of her family. “When I was kid, my mom and my aunts would take us out to Napoli” to pick blueberries, Colburn recalled. “That place was neat, too. We were 10 or 11, and me and my brother would run around and play hide-and-seek in the all the blueberry fields and on the paths. “I enjoy bringing my kids and, for the most part, they enjoy it,” Colburn said of the farm. “It’s easy access and isn’t too big. There isn’t a lot of walking. It’s all in a small area. “I want them to enjoy the outside. They’re outdoor kids, anyway, but this is a different scenario,” she noted. “It’s a nice time to be able to get out and enjoy the weather as a family.” Also picking blueberries that day was Paul Hogan, who lives nearby and had helped care for the farm in the past. He said the blueberry bushes were put in 12 years ago by Steve Eaton, a retired profes- sor at St. Bonaventure University. Hogan explained he helped the one- time professor maintain the blueberry farm for several years. “It’s a lot of work,” he said. Burgess said she and her husband pur- chased the property a couple of years ago because they enjoy the berries as much as the public does. She said the farm, which opened with- in the past week, has plenty of berries, despite visits from turkeys and bluejays that occasionally feast on the blueberries. “Mr. Eaton planted these to come in three different stages,” she said of the varieties of blueberry bushes. “They usu- ally last through Labor Day.” Kate Day Sager/Olean Times Herald Zariah Armstrong (from left), Andrew Colburn and Shelby Colburn enjoy a morning of picking blueberries Friday at a farm on Ten Mile Road in Allegany.

Allegany — Memories of picking blueberries with her mother and aunts likely came flooding back to Jessica Colburn as she picked the berries with her own children recently in Allegany.
Colburn and her children, residents of Salamanca, spend time a small U-pick blueberry farm along Ten Mile Road in Allegany, having fun while filling buckets with berries.
Blueberries are currently ripening across the region from the Ten Mile Road farm to Bozberry Farms in Turtlepoint, Pa. Childs Blueberry Farm, located on Cooper Hill in the Humphrey area, also is reporting that their “U-pick” operation will begin Aug. 1.
