Ripening Now – Expected Opening Day June 3rd (maybe)
Waiting Isn’t Easy
The berries are ripening slower than usual this year. Our expected opening pick-day is not until June 3rd, 2021 at RabbitEye Farm, West Point, Georgia – but that is an estimate. Its best to check the website or Facebook to make sure. We will post about the status of both blueberries and blackberries on June 2nd.
Procedure is the same
Our prices and hours will remain the same as last year. If you haven’t been here before, our pick days (after opening day, of course) will be Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays in June with a MORNING PICK – 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM and an EVENING PICK – from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM. This takes advantage of the cool parts of the day when it really is the best time to pick. We supply buckets that are 2 and a half quarts. The price is $15 and you can pay either with cash or PayPal. We include a liner in the buckets that is easy to lift out. You keep the liner and use it to gently carry your berries home. So, you really don’t need to bring anything, except maybe a friend, a hat, or an umbrella if it is raining. We are rain or shine. Here is a picture of the bucket and liner, and how handy a friend can be if you need help toting what you pick!

Spring Frost
Farming is such a weather-dependent endeavor. We experienced some frost damage this spring on some of the blueberry varieties. Most of the damage was on the fresh new growth. Some loss was also in the berries, but I guess every year can’t be a bumper crop. The temperatures have generally been cooler than normal, which is probably why the berries are ripening later this year. Who knows though, we can’t control it, we just have to roll with it.
Blackberries Too!
We have more blackberries this year than last year! One of the varieties did not like the cold snaps, and it shows, but the others are robust and look great! We’ve also planted another new blackberry variety this spring. Those plants are still really small so it will be a year or two before we can sample the newest ones, but we are looking forward to it.
We are also looking forward to seeing all of you this summer and we will keep you posted.
