Berries
The Berry Season
You could say the berry season is our 2nd favorite time of the year (the first is of course Christmas). You and your family can venture out on the farm and pick fresh and delicious Blackberries and Blueberries! We provide everything you need to pick and take your berries home in. We can’t wait to see you all!
Berry Season Hours
Closed for the season.
Berry season typically begins around the first week of June!
We have grown 4 acres of blackberries for more than 20 years, which has been challenging and a learning experience. We have experimented with many old and new varieties and different growing methods. We're currently growing many varieties of thorn-less blackberries; Osage, Natchez, Ponca, and Caddo. A large amount of our blackberries are grown on a trellis system this allows for better crop yield, but for you it makes them a heck of a lot easier to pick.
Since 2011, we have been growing numerous varieties of blueberries. We're currently growing eight varieties; Blue Crop, Blue Ray, Chandler, Duke, Patriot, Blue Ribbon, Top Shelf, and Reka. We currently have 1.5 acres which are covered by a net which prevents birds from getting to the berries. We grow our Blueberries in grow bags above ground which makes for easy picking. Blueberries require a low pH 4.5 to 5.5 which above ground bags provide.
What’s Needed
We furnish everything you need to pick. If you come early, don't forget your fresh cup of coffee. We supply: buckets, cartons, restrooms, hand sanitizing stations, and a hand washing station.
