Do you have samples available to taste?

          Yes, we do. Our fresh fruits and products sell themselves. We are happy to have samples available.  We are glad Covid restrictions have been lifted so we are able to have samples available this year.

 

 

What Jam and Jelly do you have at the roadside stand?

Blackberry Jam and Jelly and Blueberry Jam and Jelly. All are made and sealed in an FDA government

inspected Kitchen with an indefinite shelf life. Refrigerate after opening. 

 

 

Do you have u-pick available?

Yes.  Our u-pick hours are from 9 AM to noon daily by appointment.

Blackberries must be harvested in the cool mornings as the berries get too soft above 80 degrees. 

The cost is $10/person plus $5/pint. Call ahead for reservation to (404) 644-9470.

No pets allowed. Average pickers can harvest 15 pint/hour.

 

 

Can we purchase fresh blackberries already harvested? Do we have to pick our own?

We have fresh harvested blackberries in coolers at the roadside fruit stand already harvested. 

They are in vented pint containers already cooled to 33 degrees.  They are $5/pint.

 

 

What is the secret to the great taste of your berries and Jellys?

Well cared for organically raised plants and then serve the product fresh. 

Our blackberries are harvested in the cool of the morning, chilled to 33 degrees,

and sent that day in ice coolers to the roadside fruit stand for your purchase.

Retail grocers are supplying berries from Guatemala and Mexico 30% higher in cost.

Fresh is not possible in that long chain supply through trucks and warehouses. 

 

 

Do you have overnight camping or hotel facilities?

No. Contact the Blackberry Farm in Tennessee. 

 

 

How do we care for Blackberries once we have them home?

Keep them in the vented container we provided you. They must be able to breathe in the vented container.

 They can be refrigerated in the vented container up to 7 days.

If you need to keep them longer, freeze in an airtight zip bag. Never wash the berries when you get them. 

Wash them just before use. Blackberries do not have a skin like blueberries or grapes,

so they are more sensitive to care.  Our Blackberries have no chemicals or pesticides and have been rain washed.

So a light rinse is the most you would need to do just before consumption.
