The question I'm often asked is "Why blackberries?"

As a young child I spent many hours during summers on our dairy farm picking wild blackberries with my grandparents to sell. The little bit of income I received was nice but spending time with my grandparents and enjoying the fresh berries, usually in the form of one of my grandmother's famous "little round pies" was the real treat. Times have changed from the untamed thorny bushes and tick infested patches I grew up with to trellised, irrigated, and manicured fields with thornless varieties of berries selected for firmness, sweetness, and taste profiles. Technology has also shifted to the point where a commercial blackberry farm located in the mid-west is a real possibility. My ultimate goal is to provide the highest quality fruit to serve the local market while also giving back to the community that I treasure. I hope the memories created by all of those that visit Big Springs Berries are as fond as those that I have from my childhood. I'm lucky to have had the support and help of my wife and three children as well as the good fortune of some really fantastic employees.
