The berries were prewashed this weekend!
Thanks to all who braved the muddy conditions and came out to pick loads of ripe blueberries and blackberries this Memorial Day weekend. We've never seen so many blueberries come out of the field before. We had so much fun meeting new people and seeing return customers from last year (or even last week).
Our season is just getting started and we expect to be open at least 4 more weeks for pick-your-own blackberries and blueberries.
Our next pick is on May 27, Wednesday evening at 6 pm and we will require reservations. We will post the link to make reservations at 6 pm Tuesday (24 hours in advance) on our page and our website at https://www.waughsomefarm.com/events/wednesday-may-27-at-6-pm-sunset-berry-picking/ so watch for our announcements then.

**Update #1. All reservations for Memorial Day are booked. We'll open next on Wednesday, May 27 at 6 pm. More information about that later.**

We will open for pick-your-own blackberries and blueberries on Memorial Day, Monday May 25 by appointment only.

One appointment per vehicle.
We will have blackberries and blueberries available for picking. The blueberries are especially plentiful. The blackberries are just getting started, but this cloudy weather is slowing them down. We will limit everyone to one gallon of blackberries so that later appointments might have a chance to get some. The peak season will start on the next bright sunny day we get and will last through early June.
The orchard is muddy, so bring your rain boots/old sneakers and possibly a rain coat.
Berries are $8 per pound. We provide a picking bucket lined with a bag to bring home. We accept cash and credit cards. As of today, we no longer accept Venmo.
We are located at 40269 Abby James Rd in Prairieville Louisiana.

* Picking sessions on Sunday, May 24 will be by appointment only.

It's a good news, bad news kind of situation.
The good news is that the field is bursting with ripe blueberries like we've never seen. So we're going to open an extra day this weekend.
The bad news is that recent rainy weather is causing problems with our parking area, so we will require reservations for morning and afternoon picking sessions on Sunday.

The weather still may cause problems on Sunday. Wear your rain boots and possibly a rain jacket. We close the field when there is heavy rain or lightning, so check the weather and our website or FB page before heading over.

05/23/2026

It looks like there's some rain and thunderstorms currently moving toward the farm ahead of our Saturday morning picking sessions (May 23).
We intend to open at 8 am as scheduled but we will not let people into the orchard in a heavy rain or if there is lightning in the area. We're hoping there will be periods where it clears out.
The good news is that there is a ton of ripe fruit in the field (especially blueberries!) and it's cooler.
Check back with our page or our website for announcements before you start heading over, because the weather could force some changes to our schedule.

05/22/2026

Waughsome Farm pick-your-own berry season has begun for 2026. We have plenty of ripe blueberries and blackberries for the picking, now, from mid-May through the month of June.

05/20/2026

**Update (3:40 pm)**
We will open from 5 pm to 7:30 pm today. We're going to get another round or two of rain, but we will open and let people pick fruit as the weather allows. That means there may be some times where you have to wait in your car or get chased out of the field but hopefully by sunset we'll have some pockets of clear weather so you can get you picking some in the post-rain coolness.
**

Keep your eyes on the skies! Rain and thunderstorms are predicted for our area this Wednesday evening, May 20, but our intention is to open as scheduled from 6 pm to 7:30 pm for pick-your-own blackberries and blueberries.

We will close the orchard if there is heavy rain or lightning in our area. However, we will open if it's a light rain or drizzle or intermittent rain. Bring your rain jackets and rain boots or shoes that you don't mind getting wet or muddy .

We may also adjust the opening time in either direction to try to time the thunderstorms so make sure to check our website or page for last minute updates before you start heading over.

You might want to make the special effort to visit today if you don't mind the weather or the uncertainty, because both the blackberries and blueberry bushes are loaded with ripe fruit right now.
