The store front is lovely! This was the first time I've visited this farm. They have an ice cream window, which I would've liked to try but it was too early in the morning. We went mid August to pick blackberries and raspberries. Compared to a few other farms we've been to these past few weeks for berry picking, there weren't as many blackberry and raspberry plants as I was hoping for. Therefore, if you go later in the day, they may be all picked over. Both the raspberry and blackberry bushes have thorns so be careful with children.
BLACKBERRY PICKING: PROS- big berries, medium sized bushes so I could reach all heights
CONs-paths were overgrown but I think we were early in the season, thorns
RASPBERRY PICKING: Big, juicy, sweet, sun-ripened berries
PROS- cleared pathways, low to the ground plants for easy picking
CONS- sunk into dusty clouds of dirt on the pathway, thorns, lots of honey bees flying around but didn't bother me
NOTE: I did find the ripe berries had tiny white worms inside the berries but you find them at every farm! They are harmless if you eat them. Just wash them very well when...

Ā Ā Ā Read moreNice farm with a small farm stand store to buy their goods. We did the pick your own raspberries in late August for $5/lb. You have to walk up a rocky hill to get to one of the two raspberry sections to pick from so don't wear sandals. There were plenty of raspberries to pick and they pop off the plant very easily so young kids should have a problem. To note, there were a bunch of bees (mostly honey bees) which is nice to see but they also loved the raspberries so just keep an eye out when picking.
We picked for about 30 minutes and filled about a large yogurt container which came to a bit over 1lb. Raspberries have stayed fresh for the last week in the fridge and still...
