    "Very family friendly, customer oriented, and well maintained. The berries are HUGE and delicious! Franklin's best kept secret. Family owned 5 acre blueberry farm located in rural neighborhood. Call for opening day. Look for Blueberry sign out front in early July. Bringing own containers is recommended, but they do have containers for use. "
