Max Robinson had long dreamed of being a small farmer. His several acres of blueberries, first planted in 1993 on a Greenbrier County hillside, delivered on the dream.

Blueberry pickers descend on the farm starting at 8 a.m. With white berry buckets tied around their waists, they pick pound after pound all day until the season winds down in early August.

Tobacco virus is hazardous to blueberry bush health, as customers are reminded when they pick up buckets at this stand, then weigh and pay for them there when done.
