dewberries/blackberries Austin?

[CornuLongus]

Does anyone know where I can pick dewberries/blackberries in Austin vicinity. I don't care if it's one of those pay as you pick farms either......

Go wander around some public areas near some of the local creeks. I'm pretty sure they grow wild around here. I'm also pretty sure we've got (or will have) a bunch behind our office (we're on Walnut Creek in NE Austn...).

Watch out for poison ivy/poison oak though....

And snakes..

The berries in east Texas are gone...It maybe too late in Austin.

It may be too late for wild dewberries, but I saw a piece about a week ago on TV about a place in McDade with pay as you pick Blackberries and they were huge and look great. Now, if I could just remember the name? I seem to recall that it's almost in downtown McDade. I'm sure some of the locals can give you directions.

Sweetberry Farms is about an hour outside of Austin, near Marble Falls.


Better hurry, before it gets too hot and dry.

The Farmer's Market at 6701 Burnet Rd had huge blackberries yesterday.

you can buy some from Curly. He runs a fruit/veggie stand in Oak Hill over by Red's Gun Range. He gives you a free peach with each visit. Last time i was therer he had peaches, tomatoes and blackberries.

They have blackberries all over the Bluebonnet golf course. I pick those every day that I marshall out there.

Bacone - what holes are the berries on? I'm out at Bluebonnet fairly frequently ... thanks.

capn-

There is one specific place in the rough on the 3rd hole right before the pond. Careful if you go over there because there were a nest of snakes there not too long ago.

I usually find a lot of them near the low spots on the course or near the ponds.

You have to be looking for either the berries or your ball in order to see them. There not too easy to find. Hope that helps.
