Get ready for an exhilarating third picking weekend in a row at The Orchard! Our wild blackberries are thriving, and thanks to your enthusiastic picking on the previous weekends, new berries keep popping up in their place, ensuring a fresh harvest every time.
Join us this Friday through Sunday, August 8th–10th, from 9 AM to 1 PM, when these untamed treasures are at their sweetest, kissed by the cool morning breeze. It’s a thrilling chance to dive into nature and fill your baskets with the juiciest wild blackberries - perfect for jams, desserts, or a delicious snack on the spot!
Why This Wild Blackberry Crop is a Thrill
These aren’t your average berries - these are wild blackberries, growing naturally with a rugged charm and a hint of adventure. The perfect weather this year has made them exceptionally prolific, and your help in harvesting has encouraged even more to sprout. Picked during the 9 AM to 1 PM window, they’re at peak ripeness, offering that burst of tart-sweet flavor only wild berries can deliver. The cool morning air adds to the excitement, making it an ideal time to explore the patch.
What to Expect: A Bold Blackberry Picking Quest!
Embrace the wild side with this hands-on experience! These thorny treasures come with a bit of a challenge - dress in long sleeves, pants, and sturdy shoes (boots are best!) to tackle the thorns like a true adventurer (picking is at your own risk, so let’s keep it fun and safe!).
You’ll:
