Staff are available to guide you through these new protocols

Physical Distancing

• Please respect the 2 metre (approx. 2 blueberry bushes apart) physical distance everywhere possible:
  • Lineups, Waiting Areas, Fields, Washroom Facilities, & Cashier Station

 Hand Hygiene

• Good hand hygiene must be maintained
• Hand sanitizers must be used – in place at entrances and in fields
• Porta potties/hand washing stations, located in main parking lot, and in fields

Bus:

• Our bus driver & attendant will help with boarding
• Have your group together
• Start seating at back, moving towards the front
• Seniors & those with disabilities, the front seats are for you
• When it’s your turn, let our staff seat the rest of the bus first
• When returning with your berries, please keep your boxes closed – spillage is a safety hazard

Field:

• One of our field team will show you where the empty U-pick boxes are located
• Pick up ONLY the number of boxes you are picking; if you want more later, you may return for them
• Do not handle anyone else’s boxes
• Blueberries are not allowed to be eaten on the bus
• Stay in your groups so our supervisors can place you together in the field
• You will be allowed plenty of room to pick your boxes
• Keep your children close while picking, as they are part of your group 😊
• While picking, keep your boxes under the bushes, out of the sun
• Picking in someone else’s area is not allowed

While picking, someone may need to pass by you to exit the row

• make sure your berries are safely out of the way
• all parties must be wearing their masks
• stay as far apart as possible

As these measures are new for everyone, we appreciate your patience and respect for workers and fellow pickers!
