Thanks for the 2026 Boysenberry U-Pick memories! We are so grateful to keep Grandpa Rudy Boysen’s heritage boysenberry legacy alive and growing! Please post your favorite boysenberry U-Pick photos here in the comments. We loved hosting the Hanski Family Farms goats! They were a big hit! The Boysenberries were the biggest we’ve ever gotten here at Boysen Berry Farm and also the most delicious! Our last open U-Pick day will be Monday, June 1, 2026! Thank you so much for supporting our farm! We thank all of our local Boysenberry friends who came out to get their hauls, big and small!  One couple came from Iowa, plenty of folks made the 8 hour drive from Anaheim, CA and 2hour drive from Napa and many points in between. We had lots of Bay Area folks and new Boysenberry friends from Nevada, Washington and Texas as well!  We made new Boysenberry friends from India and Germany, too! 
Please stay tuned for 2027 U-Pick season by subscribing to our monthly newsletter at rudysoriginal.com/subscribe.

Original post: Boysenberry U-Pick Still Going Strong!
Our boysenberries surprised us and gave a second flush of plump, sweet berries just in time for this weekend’s boysenberry U-Pick. Hours 7am-7pm Friday through Monday. 6282 County Rd 23, Orland, CA.
We still have tons of boysenberries down low under the leaves.
PICKER’S TIP: Don’t get poked! Look for berries in the lower portions of our trellised vines, in the shadows, behind leaves. We provide a painter stick to move the leaves aside, or you can bring a leather glove for one hand to assist your hunt for our luscious berries. Field photos taken Thursday, May 28,2026.
Lenora Yancy will provide delicious Yancy Farms Baked Goods this Saturday, May 30. Yum!
We will also offer our Rudy’s Original jams, syrup, heritage boysenberry plants and boysenberry smash pies. Come early, these pies sell out fast!
See you at the farmstand!

The baby goats are here at Boysen Berry Farm U-Pick this Memorial Day weekend! Come enjoy taking photos with the goats. This event will be safely supervised. Open 7am-7pm Friday through Monday.
Our boysenberries are ready for U-Pick, so juicy, plump, and ripe! We will also have plenty of our very popular Boysenberry Smash Pies at the farm stand. We smashed together two of our favorite recipes, Boysenberry crisp with a cinnamon crumble topping, and Boysen Berry pie in a delicious shortbread crust. These pies do tend to sell out every time we offer them, so don’t miss out!
Need boysenberry jam or our popular boysenberry syrup? We have plenty of that on hand as well, including our famous Boysenberry Oopsie sauce, a whole berry pour over for ice cream, waffles, pancakes, cheesecake, yogurt…Yum!

High winds always win against a port-a-potty! Here at Boysen Berry Farm we had 45mph gusts! The Port-a-Potty company will be up in the morning to clean up! They are wonderful!

More peaceful weather expected next weekend for more U-Pick boysenberries!
