We’ll open for pick-your-own blackberry and blueberry picking on Thursday, June 19 (Juneteenth) at 8 am to 10 am. We will probably require reservations. We will post the links and instructions to make reservations at least 24 hours in advance.

Alternate date: If we get rained out in the morning, we will reschedule for Thursday evening at 6 pm – but the weather pattern lately has been rain in the afternoon and evening.

Blackberries are doing especially well this late in the season.  Blueberries are ripening, but it’s been a struggle versus the birds.

 

Available for picking:

blackberries: thornless varieties including Ponca, Osage, Ouachita, Arapaho. Kiowa is thorny, but has excellent fruit.

blueberries: Mid and late-season rabbiteye varieties, Austin, Brightwell, Tifblue and Powderblue. 

All berries are $10 a quart or $40 a gallon. You only pay for what you pick (no entry fee). We accept cash (preferred), Venmo, and credit cards.

 

We provide picking buckets and transfer the picked berries to take-home containers.
