Blue Jay Orchard

Blue Jay Orchard sits in Troy Township, Geauga County, and picks two crops at opposite ends of the season: blueberries in summer, apples in autumn, with cider pressed on site.

What You Can Pick

• Blueberries - summer. Duke, Bluecrop, Bluejay, Blueray, Elliot and Jersey
• Apples - autumn. Gala, Red Delicious, McIntosh, Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Winesap, Baldwin, Molly Delicious, Golden Supreme, Jonagold, Cortland, Red Cortland, Golden Glory and Empire among others

What Else is Available

Sweet cider made on site in the fall, local honey all season, a gift shop and snacks.

Good to Know

As of late August: "Blueberry picking is over for the season. The market is open by appointment." The farm adds that "The 2026 season is almost here!", meaning the apples.

Pro tip: Elliot is the one to ask after in the blueberry patch. It is the last highbush variety to ripen anywhere, often three weeks behind Duke, so if you turn up in early August thinking you have missed the season, Blue Jay may still have fruit when the farms around it do not.
