Blackberry and Blueberry Picking

We’ll open the orchard for pick-your-own blackberries and blueberries on Monday, June 8 from 6 pm to 7 pm. Field closes at 7:30 pm or whenever we run out of ripe fruit. 

We may require reservations if it rains (our parking area is an unpaved field). If we require reservations, we will post the link to register 24 hours in advance.

Blackberries and blueberries are available for picking. It’s peak season – and all four corners of the orchard have ripe fruit.

Available for picking:

blackberries: thornless varieties including Arapaho, Osage, Ouachita, Ponca and Caddo. Kiowa is thorny, but has excellent fruit. Pink Lemonade blueberries are pretty much picked out for the season.

blueberries: Early-season rabbiteye varieties are available including Climax, Premier, Austin, Brightwell. Late season rabbiteyes are beginning such as Powderblue and Tifblue.

New for 2026 season: we will start selling picked fruit by weight: $8 a pound. 

Blueberries and blackberries are $8 a pound. You only pay for what you pick (no entry fee). We accept cash and credit cards. We no longer accept Venmo. We round down to the nearest dollar when paying with cash.

New for 2026 season: we will start providing bags to put in the buckets. Then we will have an easy way to weigh the produce. You can take the bags home or transfer the picked berries to take-home containers. Frequent visitors may be interested in our Waughsome Farm “Golden Bucket“.

We are a no-smoking farm. We cannot allow pets into the orchard or parking area.
