Our raspberry picking is done for 2018.
Thank you for your business and we hope
to see you in 2019.
We do not offer picked raspberries.
Children should be at least 8 years old to pick raspberries due to the prickly nature of raspberry canes, and the mosquitoes and bees that love the raspberry patch. Children under 8 need to be
carefully supervised.
Mosquitoes love to hang out in raspberries, so consider bringing repellent spray.
Our bees love the raspberry flowers. Honeybees
are generally pretty peaceful and can usually just be avoided, or even gently swished away. But if you get agitated around them, they'll get agitated, too. Just stay calm and pick around them or move to another spot.
Raspberries by the numbers
1 pint = 2 cups
1 pint raspberries weighs about
12 ounces (3/4 pound)
5-6 pints, about 4 lbs, of raspberries
are needed for a batch of jam.
Freezing raspberries:
Rinse gently and drain/dry thoroughly. Put into plastic bags or containers, seal & freeze. Or, spread them on cookie sheets, freeze, and then put into bags or containers.
