2026 season opening early may - date TBD

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

TONS of blackberries are at this immature green stage, with an occasional pink-tinted berry. The berries get much larger as they mature and ripen. Photo 4-25-26
