A family farm on the edge of Bluefield offering a compact Saturday-morning-only u-pick window for four named apple varieties — a real but narrow opportunity, and the phone number on file carries an out-of-state area code worth double-checking.
Blue Sky Farm and Orchard sits on the edge of Bluefield, in Mercer County’s Mountain Lakes / Southern WV region, and offers a real but narrow opportunity: pick-your-own apples specifically on Saturday mornings, 9am to noon, featuring four named varieties — Jonagold, Honeycrisp, Golden Delicious, and Pink Lady. Earlier in the year, the farm also grows blackberries, peaches, and cherries. This is a genuine small family operation, but one with a couple of details worth flagging honestly before planning a trip.
Unlike orchards that open daily or across a multi-day weekend, Blue Sky Farm’s apple picking is framed specifically as a Saturday-morning event — 9am to noon, and nothing broader than that is described in the sources checked. That’s a meaningfully tighter window than nearly every other orchard in this research, and it means this isn’t a farm to plan a spontaneous weekday visit around. If a Saturday morning works for your schedule, this is a real option; if it doesn’t, there’s currently no alternative day on record.
Jonagold, Honeycrisp, Golden Delicious, and Pink Lady cover a useful spread across the season — Golden Delicious and Jonagold tend to ripen earlier, while Pink Lady is typically a late-season apple. Given the narrow picking window, though, it’s worth asking when you call whether all four are actually ready at the same time, or whether the mix shifts as the Saturday-morning season progresses through late September and October.
Here’s a detail worth being direct about: the phone number on file for this farm carries a 608 area code, which corresponds to Wisconsin — an unusual match for a farm in Bluefield, West Virginia. This record could not independently confirm whether that’s simply the owner’s original cell number carried over from elsewhere, a data error, or something else entirely. Rather than dropping the number or presenting it as fully reliable, the honest approach is to flag it plainly: try it, but don’t be surprised if it doesn’t connect the way a local number would, and have a backup plan (like checking the farm’s Facebook or Instagram) if it doesn’t.
No dedicated website was found for Blue Sky Farm and Orchard — its online presence appears limited to Facebook and Instagram. That’s consistent with a small, family-scale operation, and it means those social channels are likely the most current source for any schedule changes, rather than a formal site with posted hours.
Blue Sky Farm and Orchard is at 4121 Sandlick Rd in Bluefield, in Mercer County. The coordinates on file are area estimates rather than a geocode of the Sandlick Road address.
Blue Sky Farm and Orchard offers a real, if narrow, Saturday-morning u-pick window for four solid apple varieties, backed by an earlier-season lineup of blackberries, peaches, and cherries. The honest gaps here are a phone number with an unexplained out-of-state area code and no dedicated website — worth checking the farm’s Facebook or Instagram directly, and confirming the number works, before planning a Saturday trip around it.
Third-party sources describe u-pick apples running roughly late September through end of October, specifically on Saturday mornings, 9am-noon. No other days are listed for apple picking.
A narrow 9am-noon Saturday-only window suggests this could get busy quickly once it opens each week, though this isn't explicitly confirmed in the record.
Saturday morning doesn't work for your schedule — u-pick apples here are framed as a limited 9am-noon Saturday event, not all-day or all-week access.
Saturday mornings only, 9am to noon, per third-party sources — not an all-week or all-day option.
Jonagold, Honeycrisp, Golden Delicious, and Pink Lady are named in the record.
Blackberries, peaches, and cherries are grown earlier in the season, per the research notes, alongside the fall apple crop.
Worth double-checking. The listed number carries a Wisconsin (608) area code, unusual for a Bluefield, WV farm, and it could not be independently confirmed.
No independent website was found — only Facebook and Instagram presences, per the record.
