| The Thornless blackberries are neatly trellised for easy picking |
Thornless Blackberries
Our blackberry plants have NO THORNS. That's why they're called Thornless, and picking is painless. There are berries to pick from your knees to as high as you can
reach on the rows of trellised blackberries. In between the rows we keep the grass mowed like a lawn for easy walking. We
want you to enjoy picking the berries as much as you enjoy eating them.
Don't forget to pick-up our general information and recipe sheet available
free for suggestions on ways to use and preserve blackberries and raspberries. You can also click on our Recipe page
and find some some of this same information as well as a link to hundreds of other berry recipes.

Red and Golden Raspberries
Our raspberries ripen over about a 6-8 week period. They begin slow, then
as the season progresses, more and more fruit ripen at the same time. The peak of our raspberry season (when the greatest
number of fruit is ripe at the same time) is about the third week of August, depending on the weather.
How do we have raspberries so late in the summer and into the fall?
Our raspberries are fall raspberries, (also called everbearing). We prune them for a fall crop only, producing fruit in late
summer and early fall when temperatures are generally alittle cooler and more pleasant for picking than the normal summer
raspberry season.
