Top 5 Blueberry Items Not to Miss at Bowerman’s Blueberries Farm & Market

A Taste of Summer Straight from the Farm

There’s something special about walking into Bowerman’s Blueberries Farm & Market during peak season. Maybe it’s the scent of fresh-baked blueberry donuts, or the sight of buckets brimming with sun-ripened fruit. Maybe it’s the laughter of kids finishing soft-serve cones while parents browse homemade pies and local produce. Whatever it is, it’s the kind of experience you don’t forget.

At Bowerman’s, we’re proud to carry on a family tradition rooted in quality, hospitality, and of course, blueberries! Whether you’re a lifelong local or visiting Holland for the first time, there are a few can’t-miss items that belong on your summer checklist.

Why Locals and Travelers Love the Bowerman Farm Market

A Farm with Heart and Flavor

Located right on our 100-acre blueberry farm on James Street in Holland, Bowerman’s Farm & Market is more than a place to pick up produce. It’s a full experience that combines generations of farming knowledge with the flavors West Michigan is known for.

We grow, bake, and serve with one goal in mind…to offer fresh food made with care and ingredients you can trust. And for those who love blueberries? You’re in the right place.

Now, let’s dive into the five blueberry items that have earned a permanent spot on our fan-favorite list.

1. Bowerman’s Famous Blueberry Donuts

A Holland Tradition for Over 50 Years

Our blueberry donuts are what many guests come back for again and again. Made fresh daily with blueberries from our own fields, these donuts are soft, flavorful, and perfectly glazed.

The recipe is a family secret, but the results speak for themselves. Each donut is light, moist, and packed with berry flavor. Whether you grab one with your morning coffee or pick up a dozen to share, these are more than just donuts, they’re part of the Bowerman story.

Don’t Miss:

• Blueberry donuts served warm

• Seasonal specialty donut flavors

Available individually or by the dozen

2. Blueberry Pizza from the Farm Kitchen

Sweet Meets Savory in Every Slice

Pizza might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a blueberry farm, but it should be. Our kitchen crew took the challenge of farm-to-oven cooking and created two blueberry-infused pizzas that are drawing attention from across Michigan.

Blueberry BBQ Chicken Pizza

This fan favorite features grilled chicken, sweet and smoky blueberry BBQ sauce, and melty cheese on a crisp crust. It’s savory, fruity, and surprisingly balanced.

Blueberry Margherita Pizza

For something lighter, try the blueberry Margherita. Fresh basil, tomato, mozzarella, and blueberries come together in a pie that’s both fresh and familiar, with a little berry twist.

Why It’s Worth a Try:

• Unexpected flavor combinations that really work

• Scratch-made pizza, served hot at the farm

A great savory break from sweet bakery items

3. Blueberry Pineapple Twist Soft-Serve

Your New Favorite Summer Treat

After a walk through the market or a round of berry picking, nothing hits the spot like a cold cone. Our soft-serve ice cream shop is known for its seasonal twists, and the blueberry pineapple swirl is a standout.

It’s tropical, fruity, and made with real blueberry flavor. The pineapple gives it a citrusy punch, while the blueberry keeps it smooth and sweet.

Whether you prefer yours in a cone or blended into a flurry with a donut on top, this frozen treat is summer in every bite.

Try It With:

• Our donut flurry (yes, we blend our donuts with soft serve)

• A cup of local coffee for the perfect warm-cold combo

4. Blueberry-Inspired Sub Sandwiches

Lunch, Reimagined at the Market

Bowerman's is excited to introduce a new lineup of farm-fresh subs that go far beyond your typical deli sandwich. Inspired by our love for blueberries and built with flavor first, each sub includes fresh ingredients and handcrafted sauces.

Blueberry BBQ Chicken Sub

Our best-selling sub features grilled chicken, lettuce, and a generous drizzle of our house-made blueberry BBQ sauce. Sweet, tangy, and savory in all the right ways.

Summer Turkey Sub

A lighter choice packed with turkey breast, greens, and a blueberry spread that balances creaminess with fruit-forward brightness.

Tuscan Sub

For this sub we layered chicken and roasted vegetables with fresh basil and a blueberry pesto that ties it all together.

Why They’re a Hit:

• Made fresh to order at the market

• Unique sauces using real blueberries

Perfect for a casual lunch at the picnic tables

5. Blueberry Pies That Taste Like Home

Handcrafted, Homemade, and Always in Demand

You haven’t truly experienced the Bowerman’s market until you’ve taken home a pie. Our top sellers? The Blueberry Lattice Pie and the Cherry Blueberry Pie.

Both are made from scratch using our family recipes and Michigan-grown fruit. The crusts are golden and flaky, the fillings rich and bursting with flavor.

We use our own blueberries and carefully selected tart cherries to create pies that strike the perfect balance between sweet and tangy.

What to Know:

• Pies are baked in-house and daily

• Available whole, half, and by the slice or mini pie

Seasonal fruit pies rotate, but blueberry never goes out of style

What Else to Explore While You’re Here

Relax and Stay Awhile

After checking off your blueberry must-haves, take a moment to enjoy everything else the market & farm have to offer.

Playtime on Blue Bear

Our playground mascot, Blue Bear, lives on our farm market playground. Kids love to sit and enjoy a sweet treat while sitting on Blue Bear. The playground is a kid-friendly space where little ones can climb, slide, and explore while parents sip coffee or enjoy a sandwich under the summer sun.

Local Produce and Goods

In addition to our own blueberries, we carry seasonal fruit and veggies from our West Michigan neighbors like strawberries, sweet corn, peaches, cherries, apples and more. You’ll also find preserves, sauces, gifts, and pantry staples sourced from regional artisans.
