Millstone Creeks Orchard

Blackberries (June)

Across our two acres of blackberry vines, we grow 4 different varieties with some of the sweetest berries and a few tart ones, too. Blackberries are fun to pick and even better to eat! Plus, they’re full of vitamins and minerals. Our blackberries ripen in early-t0-mid June along with blueberries and usually last through the month. The hot summer sun ripens these berries fast, and you can sometimes see them turn from red to black within hours.

Varieties: Kiowa, Triple Crown, Ponca & Arapaho

Blueberries (June-July)

This superfood is a great ingredient for all your favorite pies, jams, and jellies. Rich in Vitamin K and C along with other antioxidants, blueberries are a great addition to your morning breakfast - sprinkle a little on fresh yogurt, cereal or oatmeal for a tasty treat. They’re also delicious to enjoy by the handful. We have two acres of blueberries and begin harvesting blueberries in early-to-mid June often through early July.

Varieties: O'Neal, Climax, Premier, Reville & Powder Blue

Raspberries (June & August)

Raspberries are the newest u-pick fruit at the Orchard and make up a little less than an acre of our farm. Different than blackberries, when picking raspberries, the cone remains on the vine while the fruit pulls away. The best part about raspberries at the orchard is they harvest twice a year, so we can enjoy them in summer and fall!

Variety: Heritage
