Blackberries

Our 2019 pick-your-own season is finished. Thank you, everyone, for your patronage! Visit our year-round farm market for fresh apples, cider and much more all winter long – and we will look forward to seeing you in late May/early June 2020 for strawberry picking!

Wristband Policy:

We require wristbands for everyone entering the pick-your-own areas, which allows us to identify people who are in the orchard as paying pick-your-own customers. This leads to greater security for us and for you, ensuring that everyone who is on the property is accounted for. It is also a way for us to keep overall costs down by ensuring that everyone is paying for the fruit they pick.

WRISTBANDS ARE FREE ON NON-PEAK DAYS – MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, excluding holidays.

Wristbands are always free for children 12 years old and younger who are accompanied by a paying parent or legal guardian.
Wristbands are $2 for customers 13 years old and up on peak days (Saturdays, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day and Columbus Day in 2019).

A $10 pick-your-own discount card provides 10% off all pick-your-own purchases throughout the season. (Most customers find this card pays for itself within the first two visits.)

Season: Late July to October

Pricing:

Blackberries are finished for the 2019 season. Check back in 2020 for pricing.

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.
