It’s berry season!
Rain-washed berries, ripe and ready to pick, are about as fresh as you can get. Make yourself and your friends & family feel special by hand-picking dessert! Blueberries are nutritious, delicious, and plentiful right now. Our blueberries and blackberries are grown with organic practices and are not sprayed with any pesticides. We have way more blueberries than blackberries, so if you want to snag the blackberries you have to come early.
What if it rains?
Our pick days are rain or shine. The berries are definitely fresh, rain-washed is a bonus! If Mother Nature sends some rain… its a great chance to wear your boots. (Picking in the rain has proven to be more fun than you would think.)
How it works
We provide a bucket and liner. The berries are plentiful and a dream to pick. You keep the liner to gently carry your berries home. It’s that easy! The bucket size is two and a half quarts and the price is $15 per bucket whether you pick blueberries, or blackberries, or a combination. So all you have to do is show up.
We hope to see you soon. Berry season is always too short so don’t wait!
Encore berry picking performance! We will be open on Sunday July 3rd to pick. Early pick 6AM – 10AM and Late pick 5PM to 9PM. There are still berries and this mom and daughter team found a lot of both blueberries and blackberries during this last pick. They are also some of our best customers and win the title of most return visits. You know its a good thing when it deserves an encore.
What’s left?
Here is a cutie that couldn’t wait to eat some berries even though her mom was planning to fix a wonderful dessert. Luckily, enough berries made it home to complete this terrific cobbler. Thanks for the photos, Veronica. What a great way to spend the day and to top it all off with cobbler is even better.
Berries are best fresh. The nutritional value is at its highest point when you first pick the fruit. Farm to table distance is a key factor that limits the fresh value in stores. Picking berries at RabbitEye Farm, here in West Point, Georgia, provides your family with the freshest fruit possible. Knowing that our berries are grown without chemicals or pesticides is important too. You can see that some parents let the children enjoy the fruits of their labor right away! Good, and good for you! It’s not complicated, its simply fresh.
Thank you to everyone who came out. Hope to see you again soon.
We are so grateful that it didn’t rain. Zach and Renee Patten were our featured musicians. They really set the mood with the music that they chose and the quality with which they play. The music just floated over the entire berry patch. The terraces have a natural amphitheater effect. We had a surprise guest artist, who played the flute named Emily Jarrell. She was terrific! Not only did she play solo, but she also joined in with Zach and Renee on a few songs. She enjoyed her free cup of berries. Renee played a special instrument on Friday, it was her Grandmother’s violin. She thoughtfully keeps a photo of her Grandmother with the violin in the case as a remembrance.
This warm weather is plumping up the berries nicely. The Blackberries are ripe when they practically fall off the vine into your hand. It’s a funny thought that Blackberries are still “green” when they are red. Even though they look good red, they have to be entirely black if you want to eat them plain. Some have said that they purposely pick some red ones if they are making jelly as the red Blackberries help it to jell. Apparently, that is how they used to make jelly back before you could buy pectin. I didn’t know that.
