That was fast! It seems like HGTV star Jenny Marrs just announced that the blueberry picking season started on their farm, and now it’s already over. Get the latest update from the “Fixer to Fabulous” star, including which organizations will benefit from the proceeds.
Jenny Marrs Announces End of Another Successful Blueberry Season
On June 5, The Berry Farm announced that “berry season is so close!” The Marrs didn’t host a Berry Fest event, but had “smaller, quieter, simpler u-pick evenings in the fields.”
On June 10, Marrs announced that the berries were ready for picking. And on June 20, Marrs shared that the season was over!
“We can’t believe it, but … that’s a wrap on the 2025 berry season!” she wrote in the caption. “Our blueberries have all been picked! 🙌 We can’t thank you you all enough for showing up and supporting our community farm!!”
Marrs also shared that the proceeds were donated to a number of organizations: “@helponenow and our partner trade school in Zimbabwe for orphaned and at-risk teens, @nwachildrensshelter where each year, hundreds of children find a safe haven and HOPE for the future, and @mwangazaint — a long term partner devoted to giving vulnerable people in the Democratic Republic of Congo a chance at a full life — physically, emotionally, and spiritually.”
She added that a “a local sports program for teens in our community” also received some of the proceeds, as well as “a new retreat center for vulnerable children in Belize!”
The HGTV star noted, “Because of your generosity, our little farm will continue to make a difference here in our community and around the globe! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”
Jenny Marrs Shares the ‘Ripple Effect’ of Their Berry Farm
On June 8, Marrs took to Instagram to share how their berry farm provides lessons for their children, in addition to making a positive impact.
“Pulling weeds, pruning and picking berries has been the framework for our kiddo’s summers for the past ten years. They jump in and work right alongside us,” Marrs explained. “It’s a beautiful privilege to be able to work as a family to create delicious food and to cultivate a space for our community to gather and experience a slice of farm life.”
She continued, “This small blueberry farm has taught us that we can all DO something bigger than ourselves. The ripple effect of these fields reaches farther than we ever anticipated. It isn’t easy but it is simple: profits from our u-pick farm in NW Arkansas benefit a farm training program for orphaned teens in Marondera, Zimbabwe.”
Marrs touched on how the farm is a legacy they want to pass to their children. “We want them to value hard work and nature and, most of all, generosity. We want them to understand that it’s never ‘us’ and ‘them.’ It’s not ‘here’ and ‘there.'”
The HGTV star shared, “With so much division in our world today, we pray these experiences will allow our kids to rise up as world changers and light bearers for their generation.”
She added, “So, yes. These fields may look like just an ordinary blueberry farm. But, there is so much more sewn into this soil: hopes and prayers and hard work and heaps of love.”
