Our earliest thornless
blackberry variety, 'Natchez', has just started. 'Natchez' produces very large crops of huge blackberries, so there are many to pick already. 'Natchez' will continue ripening for the next 3 to 4 weeks.

We'll have plenty of red raspberries and black raspberries to pick
for the next 2 to 3 weeks, and many purple raspberries to pick for the next
month. Our four different varieties of thornless
blackberries will continue to ripen over the next 8 weeks, until early Aug.
From June 1 to Aug. 31, we're open our summer hours: Mon. to Sat.
7:30 a.m. to 12 noon and 7 to 9 p.m., and Sundays 7 to 9 p.m. only.
We're closed Sunday mornings for church (as we are year-round), and
from June 1 to Aug. 31 we're closed from 12 noon to 7 p.m. due to
high heat.
Those who live nearby may just come during our open hours. It's a good idea to call 620-597-2450 a day or so ahead before
driving a
distance, and leave a message saying when you're planning to come, and which types of berries you want to pick. If you leave your phone number, I can call you if it's going to rain here that day, to reschedule.
