Why Blackberries
We originally, wanted to move out of the city to situate ourselves on some land with beautiful sunsets and space. We quickly decided we wanted to use some of the space we had to grow something that would bring us some joy. Upon further thought, we decided upon blackberries because they are one of our favorites, they grow beautifully & natively, and most of us have a nostalgia about them! Just think blackberry cobbler with homemade ice cream in summertime. What is better than that?

Blackberry Picking Tips!
Blackberries are ready to pick when there is no pink, the berries are more dull black, and they remove easily from the stem without tugging.
Blackberries need to be refrigerated quickly. They are fragile and will crush and break down if not handled properly. Rinse them just before eating.
To freeze, it’s best to put them in a single layer on a cookie sheet and freeze before putting into a container.

Our help
My mom, Rhonda, and her best guy, Phil, have been a tremendous help to us! They have been there every step of the way, from encouragement to kicking us into gear to move on to the next phase when we got stuck. They showed up to work in every way.
We also could not have done it without family and friends who showed up for planting day and those who encourage us by their interest and inquiry.
