🟣Blackberry season is officially over for 2026! The last day for blackberry picking was Friday, 6-26-26. We had planned to be open Sat. & Sun. (6/27 & 6/28/26) but y'all picked all the berries Friday and nothing is left for the weekend, so we will be closed! 🍇But good news--Market and U-Pick will be closed for a few weeks, then re-open Mid-Late July for U-Pick Muscadine Grapes and Market sales. Our 2 grape varieties are: Black “Supreme” Muscadine grapes and Bronze “Fry” Scuppernong Muscadine grapes, both excellent for fresh eating, jelly and wine. These are much larger and sweeter than the wild muscadines grown in this area. 🍇So, please watch this website homepage for updates about the next opening dates in a few weeks. Thank you all for your support and we'll see y'all soon! Neal's Berry Farm 21104 Binford. Rd. Waller, TX 77484 Instagram: @trosifarms Tik-Tok: trosi.farms  Black "Supreme" muscadine grapes, not ripe until they are very dark red, almost black.  Bronze "Fry" Scuppernong Muscadine Grapes, not ripe until the entire grape is a darker bronze color. 📣LAST CALL FOR BLACKBERRIES! Open Fri., Sat. & Sun.

Cherry Tomatoes are just about gone, but we have lots of other sizes! 🟧WHAT'S UP this weekend: U-PICK THORNLESS BLACKBERRIES: $7.00/lb U-PICK FLOWERS– $5.00/fill a Solo Cup (Please do not pick Squash Blossoms) PREPICKED VEGS FOR SALE IN MARKET: (prices vary): Tomatoes (many sizes and colors), Jalapenos, Serranos, Banana Peppers (hot & Sweet) Yellow Squash, Zucchini, Cucumbers (Persian and Slicers), Eggplant 3 varieties, dried peppers, green onions, herbs.

Roma tomatoes-tasty and versatile!  Fill a Solo cup with multicolored stems for only $5! 🚩Sorry, we are PICKED OUT AND WILL BE CLOSED SUNDAY, 6/14/26. 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!

PEAK BLACKBERRY AND TOMATO MANIA WEEKEND CONTINUES Fri., Sat., & Sun., June 12, 13, & 14, 2026! 7:30am-1:00pm —With Loaded Blackberry Vines and Cherry Tomato Plants Galore, there will NEVER BE A BETTER WEEKEND to come out and pick! Bring your own picking box, or purchase ours for $3.00. Entry fee $3.00/person/age 2 and up . 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!
