Blackberries

Pick-your-own update 6/18/18:

Wristbands are always free Monday-Thursday.

Outlook:
Strawberries: Scattered picking through approx. 6/23. After that, picking will be even more scattered, but should last until around July 4. Unfortunately the best strawberry picking is behind us, but we are looking forward to great picking for our other crops this summer.

Raspberries: Red Raspberries are limited but volume will be increasing the end of this week. Black Raspberries will begin the end of this week.

Sweet Cherries: We will be open this Wednesday (6/20) for dark sweet cherries! Stay tuned for details about whether we will be open for picking Thursday and Friday, but we will definitely be open Saturday. There won’t be many yellow cherries till closer to 6/27. Peak cherry time should be around 6/27 through 7/4-both dark and yellow

Jubileum semi sweet/tart cherries: Limited crop this year- should be starting this Saturday – stay tuned for details- they won’t last long – maybe only a few hours!

Sour Cherries (traditional Montmorency): We anticipate them starting around 6/27 and lasting through 7/7- we should have excellent picking of these during that time

Blueberries: Currently our best guess is around 6/27

HOURS: Mon-Friday8-6 p.m., Saturday 7-4 p.m. (Last admittance a half hour before close each day.)

Season: Late July to October

Picking Tips

When fully ripe, blackberries will separate from the plant with only a small tug. If you have to pull at all, leave it to ripen.
Ripe berries will be dark purple-black. Even the inner part, the receptacle, should be a shade of purple and not white.
Don’t fill containers too full. The berries are delicate and will crush easily, especially on a hot summer day. If you need more containers, we’re happy to supply them!

Other berries are available to pick throughout the season, starting with strawberries, continuing with raspberries and blueberries, and then fishing up in the fall with kiwi berries and our fall crop of raspberries.

How It Works

Please arrive at least one hour before closing time to allow enough time to check in and pick.

Checking In
When you arrive at the orchard, follow signs to the specially designated Pick-Your-Own (PYO) or U-pick fruit stations. Unless otherwise noted, there is no need to stop at the market first.

Where to Pick
We will show you where to pick, weigh any containers you brought, or you can purchase some of ours. We will offer some helpful hints if needed. When you are finished picking, come back to the station to weigh and pay. For apples, we give you bags and you pre-pay based on bag size—which means no waiting in line after you’ve finished!

The Pick-Your-Own Experience
Pick-your-own fruit at Weaver’s is relaxing and kid-friendly, a chance to enjoy nature and pick sumptuous fruit. All of our apple and peach trees are dwarf trees, so most fruit will be within easy reach. Cherry trees are 80% dwarfs. We also close off rows that are not yet ripe, directing you to sections where you’ll find the best picking. We also mow and weed grassy areas to give you easy access to fruit.

Pick-Your-Own Guidelines

Please observe all rules for the benefit of all of our customers and our farm.

Always check in at the PYO shed first to get picking locations and information.

We recommend wearing close-toed shoes, as bees, hornets and yellow jackets may be present on fallen fruit.

Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Pets are NOT allowed on our farm.

Please pick only in designated areas, which are carefully selected based on the ripening schedule of our fruit.

Paring knives are not permitted.

Do not climb or shake the trees. This will damage fruit and can break tree limbs.

If two or three fruits are clustered together, use two hands and gently pick all the fruit in the cluster.

If you drop any fruit on the ground, we ask that you please make every effort to pick it up and purchase it so that no fruit is wasted. Many labor-intensive hours go into the care of our crops.

Please dispose of trash in proper receptacles.

Please be considerate of all of our customers and observe our non-smoking policy.
