BLACKBERRY AND BLUEBERRY SEASON IS COMING IN JUNE!!!!

We had a great strawberry season again this year!

​

Thank you Michael for your expertise in keeping the plants healthy and thank you to all of our long time faithful customers and the many new ones we met for the first time for your support of our family farm!

BLUEBERRIES AND BLACKBERRIES

​

We grow mostly Rabbit eye blueberries that ripen in June.  Tifblue, Climax, Powder Blue, Brightwell and Premier are some of the most common varieties we planted for our U-Pick. We have a few early ripening blueberry bushes, called Southern High Bush, that are ripening now, but won't have large enough quantities to open before June.

​

Blackberry bushes have been in the process of being replanted, and they will all be thornless.  Our 2 year old bushes look great and will ripen shortly after the blue berries.  Please check with us before you come out to the farm if blackberries are all you want to pick.  Our production will be limited this year.

​

Did you know cultivated blackberry bushes only stay healthy and productive for 9 to 10 years?  If you push them past that time they get diseased, and can spread a virus to other plants...the same virus that causes roses to get extremely thorny and will kill them eventually.
