Blackberry and Blueberry Picking
Update: It looks like we’ll have a break in the weather so we’ll set up to open at 6 pm. The fruit is ready so we’re going to roll the dice. If you’re coming from a distance, be advised that we may need to close or not open at all if the rain or lightning starts up again.
Bring your muck boots/old sneakers.
We will have reduced parking so we may run out of parking space. You may need to leave and try coming back in 30 minutes or try some other day.
We’ll open for pick-your-own blackberry and blueberry picking on Thursday, June 12 at 6 pm to 7:30 pm. No reservations required.
Blackberries are doing especially well this season. Blueberries are starting to reach their peak – if we can keep the birds away from them.
Available for picking:
blackberries: thornless varieties including Ponca, Osage, Ouachita, Arapaho. Kiowa is thorny, but has excellent fruit.
blueberries: Mid-season rabbiteye varieties including Climax, Premier, Austin and Brightwell.
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. Frequent visitors may be interested in our Waughsome Farm “Golden Bucket”.
We are a no-smoking farm. We cannot allow pets into the orchard.
