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 or place and order for fresh and delicious Blackberries and Blueberries! We provide everything you need to pick and take your berries home. We can’t wait to see y’all!

Berry Season Hours

Opening Day: May 25th

Tues & Thurs 7:00am - 12:00pm

Sat 7:00am - 2:00pm

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.
