ORIGINAL POST: OPEN FRIDAY, AUG. 14, 2026 (7:30am-1:00PM) FOR U-PICK MUSCADINE GRAPES. (If there are still ripe grapes left to pick FRIDAY, we will open SATURDAY 8/15 and maybe SUN 8/16/26, same hours.) Black Supreme, Ison and Bronze Fry muscadines are available for U-Pick, and maybe some PRE-PICKED grapes too. In addition, we have an assortment of home grown pre-picked vegetables and herbs for sale in the market (see photo). We plan to open Fri-Sat-Sun weekends 7:30am-1:00pm for a while, as ripe grapes are increasing in production now and they will reach peak in a few weeks, then taper off for a few more weeks. Again, we will be closed if we get picked out, so watch here or www.nealsberryfarm.com for the latest updates.
🟣PICK INDIVIDUAL RIPE GRAPES, NOT CLUSTERS (see photos). Both varieties are excellent for fresh eating, jelly and wine. These are much larger and sweeter than the wild muscadines grown in this area. For kids’ safety, please do not allow them to hang or pull on the single wire that holds all the grapes. NO OTHER FRUITS/VEGS ARE AVAILABLE FOR PICKING—Just grapes! 🟣 Pickers must check-in AT THE MARKET before 12:30pm and weigh/pay by 1:00 pm sharp closing time. We accept CASH/MC/VISA/AMEX. No pets/No checks please. Sorry, no picnic area. Porta-Pottie available. 🟣 Admission $3.00. Picking boxes $3.00, U-Pick grapes $7.00/lb, Pre-Picked Grapes $9/lb.

Waller, TX 77484 www.nealsberryfarm.com Instagram: @trosifarms TikTok: trosi.farms 🔴Closed (Picked out) Sunday, 8/9/26. Next open will be 7:30am-1:00pm - Fri., Sat., & Sun (8/14, 15, & 16), depending on weather and availability of U-Pick Muscadine grapes. Any changes in schedule will be posted on HOMEPAGE of this website.
🌟The fall Muscadine season just started this weekend, so ripe grapes were not as plentiful as they will be next weekend, so check back here later this week for any updates. We plan to be open the same 3-day weekends, same hours, for a few months (?), again, dependent on weather and availability of fruit. Muscadine harvest volume will build, then level off at peak for a few weeks, decrease, and finally come to an end, just like the blackberry season always does. 🌟The season for "Black Supreme" and "Ison" grapes is a little earlier than the Bronze "Fry," so their season will peak sooner. But for bronze grapes, we have "Fry" and "Late Fry," so the bronze season is extended due to having two varieties that look the same, but actually peak at different times.So, if you want black grapes, be sure to come earlier in the season or you may miss out. 🌟Please see HOMEPAGE for prices and other relevant info. Make plans to visit next weekend! Thank you to all who came out and picked this weekend--We appreciate you! 🌟Neal's Berry Farm & Farmer's Market 21104 Binford. Rd.

Y'all showed up and really picked a lot today (Sat. 6/13), so there is nothing ripe for picking tomorrow (6/14).
‼️Good news is that PEAK BLACKBERRY SEASON WILL LAST 2-3 more weeks! This is unprecedented for us, and we think it is because the mid-March deep freeze delayed the earliest ripening varieties, so those early berries are ripening later along with the later ones. So there are still LOTS of beautiful RED blackberries to ripen in the coming few weeks. 🚩Next OPEN days: Fri., Sat., & Sun. June 19, 20 and 21, 2026 TIME: 7:30am-1:00pm 🚩Tomato Mania will continue this coming weekend with LOTS of tomatoes of all colors and sizes! 🚩Looking forward to seeing y'all soon!

. What is PEAK Blackberry season? Each of our 7 Blackberry varieties only produces for a few weeks, and the ripening dates are Early, Mid and Late season. There is some overlap in the ripening times, so the 2-3 weeks when they are all producing is called PEAK SEASON. During Peak, you can fill your box quickly from just a few plants. After this weekend, blackberry production begins to decline and there are fewer ripe berries per plant, and only the mid-to-late season varieties still have ripening berries, so after Sunday (June 14), Peak season will conclude, but you can still find some delicious berries. And intense summer heat can easily cook the berries on the vine, so come out and pick while the fruit is abundant, top quality, and easy to pick!

Before you come, ALWAYS CHECK this website or our Facebook page for updates! For our recipes, please see below. RECIPES: RATATOUILLE Ratatouille is one of the few things in life you CAN actually have “your way.” Just add as much as you like of each vegetable to make the desired quantity. Fry and drain 1 lb. pan sausage, or chopped link sausage, or whatever you have. For vegan, omit the meat and just heat a little olive oil in a large frying pan. Saute one chopped onion and a small bell pepper. While this is cooking, peel and chop one or two eggplants, summer squash (zucchini and/or yellow), about 6 Roma tomatoes, and add them to the frying pan, along with sweet basil, thyme, black pepper, and garlic. Add a little water mixed with Caldo de Pollo (omit for vegan) and cook on medium heat, stirring frequently, until veggies are tender. The veggies release so much water, so add minimal water for a stew, a little more water for soup consistency. Turn heat to low, cover skillet, and simmer until all is soft and well-blended. Salt to taste after completion. Neal’s Berry Farm Blackberry Cobbler

This week's schedule: We PLAN to be open Fri, Sat. & Sun., May 22, 23, & 24, 2026 7:30am-1:00pm. Hopefully the rain forecast for mid-week won't be severe enough to keep us from opening this weekend, but PLEASE check back here before you drive out to be sure we are open. This pic shows a lot of red blackberries, and some of these will ripen and be ready to pick in a few days. See all the little brown calyxes on the plant? That's where a ripe blackberry was already picked last week. The farmer says all of the varieties of blackberries will be producing by this weekend. These sunrays are just what the berries need for ripening! We're just a few days away from peak blackberry season, so come on out this weekend before the summer heat sets in! We'll have lots of U-Pick flowers and pre-picked vegetables, too!

Please watch children closely near the 3 DEEP irrigation ponds Come join us as we FINALLY get this season started! . Neal’s Berry Farm 21104 Binford Rd., Waller, TX77484@trosifarms Sorry, but we must delay our season opening date once again . . . Looks like rain Saturday morning, and blackberries and vegetables just aren’t ripening in time for an earlier opening. We will still be closed this weekend, but hope to open the following weekend, likely Saturday, May 16, 2026 (7:30am-1:00pm.) Pictures taken 5-6-26 show lots of under-ripe blackberries, but very few ripe ones. Please check back next week and we will have a better idea of our opening date. Thank you for your patience, and we PROMISE we are going to open soon! Neal's Berry Farm 21104 Binford Rd. Waller, TX 77484 @trosifarms We hope to open the 2026 Season on May 8, 9, 10th, but there won't be very many ripe blackberries yet at that time. The March 17 freeze damaged the ones that would have been ripening now, and more cool temps this week will slow the ripening even more. Pictured here is the ONLY ripe blackberry I saw today on an entire row of the Prime-Ark Freedoms, which are our earliest producers. Lots of ripe berries coming, but just not as early as usual. Veggies and flowers are doing great, and will need to be picked by the second weekend in May, so we expect to open whether the blackberries are ready or not. Hours for the season will be 7:30am-1:00 pm, usually Friday, Saturday, and Sunday unless we get picked out or (very seldom) rained out. Please check back on this UPDATES tab, or our Facebook page "Neal's Berry Farm & Farmer's Market," before May 8th to be sure we will be open as planned. Thank you for your patience as we get the farm ready for a great picking experience for you! Neal's Berry Farm 21104 Binford Rd. Waller, TX 77484 @Trosifarms Just a little preview of our coming season! Vegetables are coming along nicely--at lunch yesterday, we put one of the Jalapenos on a scale, and 7 of them will make a pound! The March 17th freeze put the blackberries behind just a bit, but they are loving these recent rains and warmer weather. That same freeze "pruned" the tops off the flowers, so that just made them branch more, which makes more blooms! The fig trees were in full bloom as the freeze set in, and the fig crop was decimated. Sorry, but we will no longer offer FIGS for U-Pick or pre-picked. If you have followed our fig production over the years, so will know just how "iffy" the crop production always is, and this year is no exception. We will pick any future figs and have outside contract sales for the crop and the leaves when they are available. When we open this spring (2026), we will offer a limited quantity of potted FIG TREES for sale, propagated from cuttings of our large fig trees, so you can GROW YOUR OWN TREES of the same varieties you have picked from here in some past years. See picture below for some of the potted plants that will be available when we open. We also have removed most of the peach and nectarine trees (due to age of trees and, again, the dreaded "iffy" production), and YEA! are planting two 750' rows of the fabulous "Caddo" thornless blackberries. So, no more U-Pick peaches or nectarines, but MORE blackberries near the market. Y'all will be glad to know 2026 prices remain the same as 2025, and you may still bring your own containers, or purchase our boxes. Once again, we will be partnering with Trosi Farms, who also has a farm in Elgin, TX. Y'all get your pickin' boxes dusted off for our season opening the first or second weekend in May!
