It's that Time of Year....

Jason Powell of Petals from the Past sent the following message to me I thought I would pass along:

"Our blackberry fields will be open today, May27, for pick your own. Our berries are beginning to ripen, however if you come just to pick blackberries please call to determine availability. Within a week, our volume of fruit should be strong. We are pleased to inform our customers our opening price for u-pick or already picked fruit is $5.65 a pound, which is $.30 lower than last year. A pint weights ¾ pound and a quart 1 ½ pounds. Since we grow our own fruit you never pay sales tax. We have a small volume of Southern High Bush blueberries, which we are selling already picked, for $5.50 per pint. The main crop of blueberries should be ready in approximately 10 days."

Each year this is my favorite place to go to pick Blueberries and Blackberries. I plan to give it another week or so before I head down. In fact, the Black and Blue Berry Festival will take place on June 14th from 9am-5pm. It is one of the gardens biggest events of the year. You can join in on the fun by celebrating the black and blueberry harvests. There will be Blue Grass music, pony rides, a petting zoo, face painting and lots of delicious blackberry and blueberry desserts. Yum! Remember my fun from last year?
