Blackberry and Blueberry Picking
8 am (by appointment)
40269 Abby James Rd Prairieville LA
**Update: All spots for Saturday morning are taken. Check back with us to see if we open up additional dates and times.**
We’ll open the orchard for pick-your-own blackberry and blueberry picking on Saturday, May 30 from 8 am to 11:30 am. We may require reservations if we get a lot of rain and can’t use our entire parking area. If we do, we will post the link to reserve at 8 am on Friday morning.
At this point in the season, blackberries and blueberries will be available in equal amounts. Blackberries are hitting their stride, in terms of pace of ripening.
Available for picking:
blackberries: thornless varieties including Arapaho, Osage, Ponca and Caddo. Kiowa is thorny, but has excellent fruit.
blueberries: Early-season rabbiteye varieties are available including Climax, Premier, Austin, Brightwell.
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. When paying by cash, we round down to the nearest dollar.
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.
