I have lots of people asking about blackberries, so here's the update: We will have some, but not enough to offer for U-pick this year. We planted several rows of new plants last year counting on the usual spring rains to grow the plants to production size by summer. But as you know we had extreme drought all spring, so berries are not plentiful. I will only have enough to offer small trays in the cooler. Not gallons at a time, as in years past. I know my jam making customers are disappointed by that! I am too, but the life of farming is dictated by Mother Nature. The rains have returned however, and the plants are off and growing at last, so next year I expect us to be back up to good production. Blueberries are also not as plentiful as usual, however, we do have u-pick for those. We lost about half our crop to the late March freeze, but half of 300 plants is STILL a lot of blueberries! Be sure you get some in June. Many people who rely on their own little bushes are reporting total losses and coming here to stock up, so they may go fast. And peaches were a total loss to the March freeze. I will post later in the summer. We do expect muscadine, figs, lemons, and honey.
