We have about 600 feet of delicious U-Pick blackberries available at our Belton orchard, which ripen over 3 to 4 weeks in the middle of the season. Fortunately, all our blackberries are thornless, so you can pick them without blood-lettingâș We will provide small buckets for you to pick into, so don't worry about bringing containers.
When picking blackberries, try to pick only berries which are all black (no red). Ripe berries break down quickly in heat once picked, so it's best not to leave them in a hot car. Once you are home with the berries. Place them in the refrigerator. Unlike peaches, blackberries don't keep well on the counter. They need to be refrigerated.
