We're Now Reid Orchards

   We changed our name to Reid Orchards from Brenda's Berries & Orchards in Feb. 2024, to reflect our evolving crop offerings.  When we opened for business in 2001, our main crop was pick-your-own thornless blackberries, which we still offer in 2026, our last year for growing berries.  We also offered pick-your-own strawberries from 2002 to 2016, and pick-your-own raspberries from 2003 to 2022, but we're now retired from growing strawberries and raspberries.  This summer 2026 is our 26th and final year of offering pick-your-own thornless blackberries for sale.

   Our main crops are now pecans, apples, pears, Asian pears, and peaches.  All these crops grow in orchards, hence our new name.  We now have a new website, Reid Orchards at https://reidorchards.blogspot.com/

'Gold Rush' apples have gotten very sweet after 6 months of cold storage.  I eat one every day with my lunch.
   Expected sales dates for all our crops for the next 12 months are shown in the left sidebar under Crops Sales Seasons.  That also show which crops we sell harvested, and which crops we sell pick-your-own.  I'll keep this updated, but I'll no longer post new blog posts on this Brenda's Berries & Orchards website.  For photos and info on crops now in season, go to our new website, Reid Orchards at https://reidorchards.blogspot.com/

   We only sell crops that we grow, and we sell everything we grow at our retail market here on our farm.  We do not sell wholesale to people who want to resell our crops, nor do we buy produce from others to resell here.

   Please note that we take cash or checks for payment, but NO credit cards or debit cards, and no "apps".  We don't use a smart phone, and have no phone line to the sales building.  So please bring your checkbook or enough cash to cover the amount of fruit you want to buy.  Thanks.
