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! 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 with no increase in price for the last 4 years. Just bring yourself and family and enjoy a country outing!

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, and the new Ouachita. 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. Mulching, drip irrigation supplied by our stock tank, and very limited use of pesticides makes our farm more environmentaly friendly. Our family farm is owned by Charles and Randy Kesseler and is a pick-your-own farm operation, insuring the freshest berries right off the vine.

This Year--Our 2008 Season is Over

This year was the most fun and enjoyable of all of the four years that we have been open. My brother and I can't thank you, our customers, enough for the patience you showed for the lack of enough berries for everyone who came out to pick. We did our best to provide a safe, clean, and enjoyable experience. We have had no significant rain here since the first of June and the heat the last few weeks has cut our season a short (last year we were still picking the first week of August). Next year, the Lord willing, we should have a new field of 650 plants in full production that should help provide more berries. As we end this season, thanks again for the support you have shown for our small farm.

Last Update: Sat Aug 20 -- Closed for the Season

We are now CLOSED for the SEASON. The hot, dry weather has cut our season a month short this year. Thanks to all who came out this year even though the berry crop was somewhat limited. Hope you all had as much fun as we did! Hope to see you all next year. -- The Kesselers'
