Wear comfortable clothes that can get dirty/stained. Wear closed-toed shoes or boots and socks. The ground may be muddy. Red ant piles can be anywhere.
Wear sunscreen and/or wide brimmed hats and long sleeves.
It’s an 800 foot walk from the parking area to the blackberry orchard.
Most of our blackberries are thornless, but a few select rows have thorned varieties. Wear gloves and long sleeves and pants if you wish to tangle with them.
The farm hosts a wide variety of wildlife, including stinging insects such as wasps and bees. If you are allergic, please be advised.
It’s Louisiana, which means it will likely be hot. Bring your own water, but we’ll try to have cold water and CapriSun available for purchase.
It’s best to refrigerate berries within an hour of picking. Bring a cooler with ice to maintain peak freshness.
If you hear thunder, please return to your car. There is no shelter out in the orchard.
Do not enter the goat pastures or the bee yard. Do not open any closed gates.
Respect our plants. Do not tear, break or cut limbs or branches. Do not step on the roots.
Be mindful of the trellis wires at knee and head height. Do not stand on them or hang off of them.
Please do not consume berries off the vine. We have lots of wildlife that visit the orchard, so it’s safest to wash all produce before consuming.
We do not offer pre-pick berries at this time. Pick-your-own only.
