We may open on additional days if we still have fruit available to pick.
We will close early if we run out of fruit. We close if there is bad weather or lightning in the area. Always check this page and our Facebook page before heading over.
We open variably according to the season, fruit ripening, and the weather. We sometimes require reservations before your visit. The number of open reservations is based upon the amount of fruit available to pick.
This page and our Facebook page will be the best place to get up-to-date information about our open days and hours. We will post our open days and hours at least a day in advance, so keep checking back.
We open for berry picking beginning May 17, 2025 through the end of June. Our season peaks from Memorial Day to early June, with the most fruit being available then.

Pick-your-own Pricing
Blackberries and blueberries:
- $5 a pint
- $10 a quart (we now have quart size picking buckets for the kids)
- $40 a gallon (our picking buckets are one gallon)
We’ll provide picking buckets with handles. After picking, we transfer the fruit to take-home containers (pint/quart/gallon). Fruit is sold by volume, and you only pay for what you pick (no entry fee). You can bring your own bags and containers to bring the fruit home as well. Refrigerate or freeze them as soon as possible.
We occasionally offer bottled water and assorted drinks for sale, because it’s summer in south Louisiana and we’re all outside.
New in 2025! Waughsome Farm Golden Bucket
We offer a Waughsome Farm branded “Golden Bucket” for $40 that you can bring home.
Any fruit picked into the one-gallon golden bucket will be 50% off for the 2025 season, and 10% off for later seasons. Limit one golden bucket per person. Discount limited to 1 gallon of fruit per visit, which is conveniently the size of the bucket. You must have the bucket with you to receive the discount.
If you purchase a golden bucket on the way in for your first visit, you break even after the second visit, and get a great discount after that. It’s a great deal for repeat customers!
You don’t need a golden bucket to pick. Most customers will use a regular white bucket (one gallon size or quart size) and transfer the fruit to take home containers.
Fruit
- Blueberries: we will have a variety of rabbiteye blueberries available for picking from mid-May to the end of June.
- Blackberries: we will have a variety of thornless blackberries available for picking from mid-May to the end of June. Thornless varieties include Arapaho, Caddo, Osage, Ouachita, Ponca, and Triple Crown. We have one thorned variety called Kiowa – it’s delicious enough to be worth the thorns!
- Peaches: our peach trees were impacted by the late frost in winter 2025. We will not have any peach picking sessions, but if you find some ripe peaches while we’re open for berry picking, you can throw them in your bucket and pay the same price as for the berries.
- Plums: we have some scattered random plum trees that have a small amount of fruit. Same deal as with peaches, if you find some ripe plums, you can throw them in your bucket and pay the same as for the berries
- Figs: our fig trees were severely damaged by the big snow event south Louisiana had in January 2025. The trees are putting up new branches, so they are alive, but it’s unclear if and when they will fruit. In 2024, we had figs from August through the end of October, so check back with us then.
Honey
We are out of honey for the 2025 season. We may get to harvest some this summer, but we expect the supply may be limited so we may not have enough to sell in 2025. Check back with us later this summer.
