Waughsome Farm

** Weather update: We got some rain today but the ground is holding up well. We are going to open as scheduled, but there's a chance of rain. Bring your mud boots! **
Update: Some reservation spot have opened up. Come by if you are close. But keep an eye on the weather because there is a chance we will not be able to open if we get too much rain today. Check back here before heading over this evening. **
We will open for pick-your-own blackberries and blueberries on Monday, June 15 at 6 pm by appointment.
We're in the last week of our season. The berries are starting to slow down as the majority of the orchard has either been picked out or is suffering from the heat. There are more blackberries than blueberries. There still are good berries to pick, but it will require more work than the easy picking of the past few weeks.
We are requiring reservations in order to match the number of visitors with the amount of ripe fruit that we have.
Note that there is rain in the forecast for Monday, so check back with this post or our website in case there are late-breaking weather-related announcements.
Berries are $8 a pound. We accept cash, credit cards and Venmo. We provide picking buckets. No smoking, no pets. We are located at 40269 Abby James Rd in Prairieville, LA.

**Update: No reservations required for Monday picking. We've started to dry out here and the parking area looks good so far. We'll see you then! **
Thanks to everyone who braved the spotty weather on Saturday. Despite the rain chasing the pickers out of the field and causing us to close early, you still pretty much picked the field clean! We'll let the fruit ripen for a day (and wait out some of the rain).
We'll open next for pick-your-own blackberries and blueberries on Monday, June 8 at 6 pm. We'll stop letting people in at 7 pm and close the field at 7:30 pm.
We may require reservations for this pick, due to the possibility that the rain will soften up our parking area. If we do, we'll open up reservations 24 hours in advance.
