Wilder‑ness Blackberries
Sun‑sweet, and half‑wild by now.
These started as named cultivars, set out along the field edge in the 1940s. Which varieties, nobody wrote down. Over eighty‑five years they slipped the row and naturalized into the old stone walls and forest margins, and the Wilder family has tended them there ever since — cutting back the canes, keeping the edge open, picking by hand.
They ripen in late July and August. We pick in small batches in the morning, and they’re available only while they last.

One list for everything we grow. We pick when things are ready rather than on a schedule, so the list is how you find out what’s ready and when — blackberries now, and whatever the season turns up next.

Picked and packed the same morning. Only a few layers deep, so the fruit holds its shape.
Bulk, by the pound — $9.00 per lb
Same berries, same morning, same hands. The difference is the packing: in a zip-close freezer bag, four pounds of blackberries press down on each other, and some of the fruit gives up its juice before it reaches your kitchen. For pie, jam, cordial, or the freezer, that costs you nothing. For a bowl on the table, buy the half‑pints.
Freezing: spread them on a sheet pan and freeze before bagging, and they'll stay loose instead of welding into a block.
