The online home of Duck Creek Blackberry Farm - Sanger, Texas
We are located near Sanger, Texas, in northern Denton County. Our farm is about 40 minutes north of both Ft. Worth and Dallas and is conveniently located about 2 miles off Interstate 35. We offer a no-frills pick-your-own berry patch---no gift shops, hot dogs, or dog and pony shows---just fresh blackberries on a small farm setting! We do have a nice picnic area for your family under a 100 year old shade tree and ice water at no charge! Everything that is needed to pick and take your berries home is provided. Just bring yourself and family and enjoy a country outing! To see scenes from our berry farm, just click on the "farm pictures" link at the top of this page.
Our Farm
We have over 4000 blackberry plants, most of which are of the new thornless type. These include thornless hybrids such as Arapaho, Apache, Ouachita, and the new Natchez. We also have a single row of the thorny variety, Kiowa, which is the largest of all domestic blackberries and the earliest maturing of our berries. Children can see pecan trees, apricot trees, peach trees, and pear trees on our farm. Plant mulching, drip irrigation supplied by our stock tank, and very limited use of pesticides makes our farm environmentaly friendly. I have a degree in biology and minor in chemistry from UNT so I am very careful with insect/disease control. Our family farm is owned by Charles (at left in picture) and Marilyn Kesseler and is a pick-your-own farm operation, insuring the freshest berries right off the vine. Farm information is updated daily by me during harvest season on my home computer so there is no need for outdated newsletters and mailing lists. Just "tune in" to our website for up to the minute information on our berry farm.
2010 Season is Coming!
I have a new assistant, my son-in-law Nathan Sprabary. He will help with the trimming and care of the berries as was done so well by my brother, Randy, who passed away on February 13, 2009.
