Berry Picking Season Opening!

Blackberry 2016Blue2016
RabbitEye Farm first pick of the 2016 season on
Sunday June 5th.

From 6AM to 10AM and again from 5PM to 9PM.

It’s difficult to predict exactly when enough blueberries, blackberries and an occasional red raspberry will be ripe but this is a pretty good guess. We took these photos today (Memorial Day).

We have lots of berries in all stages of becoming ripe.  Here is an amazing sight of how the blackberry and blueberry bushes looked about a week and a half ago.

Pick early or pick late this berry season.  We are taking advantage of the early cool breezes of the day and evening shade by being open in the early morning and the late evening.  Our regular picking days will be on Sundays and on Thursdays with these same hours.

We are limiting the picks to 2 days a week to make sure the bushes have renewed the berries enough for a good experience.  Extra pick days may be added according to how things measure up and, of course, Mother Nature’s decision on when to provide rain.  We will keep you posted here on this website and also on our Facebook Page.

SistersWe use no pesticides and grow our berries with only sustainable organic practices.  We eat them right off the vine and we encourage you to taste the subtle differences between the varieties.  Let us know which berry and which variety you like the best.  Our blackberries have no thorns and little ones as well as adults can reach both the blackberries and the blueberries easily. We hope you come out this berry season and taste the summertime in our blackberries and blueberries!

Blooming Blackberries

Blackberry Blossoms 2016Our bees are busy in the blackberry rows.  The blackberries are in full bloom right now, and are beautiful (photo at right).  Hopefully we will have a great crop of blackberries like last year.  Our blueberries have finished blooming and have set fruit already.  You may not recall, but last year, our blueberry crop was very sparse due to something called Mummy Berry.  This spore causes the fruit to dry up and fall off the bush.  It apparently continues to be a problem year after year by overwintering in the ground around the bush and re-emerging in Spring. The suggested remedy is to spray, spray, spray… but we’re organic!…  After much research on what to do, we finally found some organic farms in the Northwest that had success with extremely heavy mulching in February.  Why February?  The theory is that by mulching overly heavy it creates a barrier and will keep last years spores from surfacing while the plant is blooming.  This is supposed to keep the spores from effecting this years crop. Blueberries bloom rather early in March, so February for mulching was exactly right.  So far, things are looking good.  I took a photo so you could see all the berries! (below, left)

Mother Nature hasn’t wasted any time bringing Spring to Georgia this year.  Lots of Springtime things have been happening, including honey bee swarms.  Bees, or rather, bee hives swarm to establish new hives.  What happens is that the hive creates a new queen, and the older queen along with many, many more leave to create a new colony somewhere.  Most of the swarms that we see here on the farm are from our own hives.  If we catch the swarm, then we have another colony with a queen.  If we don’t catch it, then we’ve just lost a whole bunch of bees.

Blueberries 2016Spring Rain

RoofWith all this Spring rain, the roof on the barn decided it had enough and began to leak.  We certainly didn’t think we would have to deal with a roof right now, and who has time?  The weather forecast says we should have several dry days in a row, four and a half days exactly, so here we are tearing off the old roof.  The brown and silver tarps are supposed to catch all the old shingles and nails.  It mostly worked… luckily, we have a huge magnet that’s great to find stray nails.

Happy Berry Picking

Happy CcustomersBerry picking was good Tuesday morning in beautiful weather.  A quick rain shower happened in the early afternoon, and then we had another beautiful evening.  We enjoyed meeting lots of great people, most of whom just happened to hear about us by accident.  Here are a few pictures from our very first pick day… ever!  The blackberries were plentiful and everyone got what they came for, huge juicy berries.  A few also found enough red raspberries to pick, which really surprised us!  This was a great start to the berry picking season, and these folks could see the loads more berries just waiting to mature.  We are going to be overrun with Blackberry goodness.  Yesterday I saw that the Blueberries were also ripening up.  Three types of berries are all ripening at the same time, Blackberries, Raspberries and Blueberries.  The Blackberries are the most abundant, then Blueberries, and then Raspberries.  We will probably expand our hours next week and will post them here on the website after Friday’s event.

Thumbs upPick & PLAY event

Each Friday in June from 4 – 7 PM, we will have live acoustic music in the berry patch.  How cool is that?  You can pick berries and enjoy beautiful music at the same time.  Live music outdoors is a special experience and so is picking the freshest berries you can get… right off the vine.  It’s a great relaxing summer experience.  We hope to see you and want you to feel like it deserves a thumbs-up like this beautiful berry picker!
