About This Farm
Messenger Century Farm has been on the same Auburn Township ground since the mid 1800s and has made maple syrup for all of it. Its original sugar house is reportedly the oldest in Geauga County.
What You Can Pick
- Blueberries - "Blueberry and Sunflower Season is the month of July"
- Sunflowers - July
What Else is Available
Maple syrup, made in a 1910 farm building converted into a new sugar house. Frozen blueberries are available on request all year, which is unusual and worth knowing in February.
Good to Know
Open daily 8am to 7pm in season, which is a longer day than most berry farms keep. The farm asks people to check its Facebook page in July for picking days.
Pro tip: blueberries and sunflowers ripen together here and the farm sells them as one visit, "Blueberries & Blooms". Take a bucket and a bunch, because the sunflower field is right there and most people wish afterwards that they had.
