I did a little pricing and it seems like blueberries are going for an average of €1.50 per 125 grams, which puts them at about €12 per kilo. I don't know about you, but at that price I cannot afford to eat blueberries... unless I pick them myself! The "you pick" blueberry farm here charges €3 per kilo if you do the hard work yourself!
I found this Pick Your Own website which looks like a fantastic resource for finding pick your own farms. I'm going to submit a couple that I know of in The Netherlands and see if I can do a bit more digging around to find others local to me here.
Picking your own Works for Me! What works for you?

We went blueberry picking on Saturday I think they were $2.25 a pound.
Thats so cool that you were able to find a pick your own farm! I wish they had ones for corn on the cob. I saw at AH they had to teenie pathetic looking ones for 3 euros!
Im going to hunt around and see if I can find some in Enschede. I'd love some strawberries and other things. I dont mind picking at all!
Yum! Too cool!
Enjoy a Tremendous Thursday!!!
That looks like fun! Know what else is fun?! Being featured on Traveling The Blogosphere, go check you out!!
We love picking blueberries! I have a good supply in the freezer right now for blueberry muffins, pies, pancakes, etc.!
Those look delicious!! Worth picking yourself, I'd say!
Wow! They look delicious!
Pick your own is so much fun. When I was in Norway, we went with some friends and picked strawberries from endless fields on a farm. That was such a fun day. Then with some other friends, I got to pick 'wild' blueberries, cloud berries, strawberries, and raspberries. That was a wonderful experience.
Have a great weekend.

Yummy. Were they good? I'm trying to talk Marcel into coming and making a day trip out of it. I think at 3 euro a kilo I'd like to buy about 4 kilos and put them in the freezer to last through the winter. YUM!!!
Yum-o! :) I just bought blueberries on sale at the grocery store for just under $2 a pound. I will freeze some of them, and might just have to make blueberry muffins this weekend with some of them. ;)
My son would LOOOOOVE blueberry picking! Fun!
