Juneteenth Blackberry and Blueberry Picking
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.
We are a no-smoking farm. We cannot allow pets into the orchard.
