where to pick blackberries...slightly OT

[Heidi Stump]

Hi all,

This is slightly off topic, but does anyone know a place in NC that you
can pick your own blackberries? I know a wonderful place in VA
(http://www.hilltopberrywine.com/), however I am looking for a farm
slightly closer to the Triangle.

Thanks!
Heidi

Hiya Heidi.
In NW Raleigh we have a wonderful resource for blackberries- Mr.
Stokes. His home is on the corner of Baileywick and Strickland,
near Ray and Strickland intersection. Not sure he lets everyone
pick their own but given that he has LOTS of canes full of
berries, I would assume this would be an option.

A pretty good web resource for finding pick your own farms, farmers markets,
and roadside stands can be found at:
