U-Pick Olallieberries in California

9 farms where you can pick your own olallieberry.

Olallieberry season in California runs June through July — one of the shortest windows of any berry. The olallieberry (a blackberry-loganberry cross developed by USDA in Oregon) found its spiritual home on California's Central Coast, where farms from Santa Cruz down to San Luis Obispo still grow it for u-pick and farm stands. Seascape Strawberry Farm in Watsonville and Avila Valley Barn near San Luis Obispo are among the best-known sources. The berries are glossy black, tart-sweet, and intensely flavorful — excellent for pies and jam. These 9 pick-your-own olallieberry farmslet you harvest straight from the source — check the map for one near you, and a farm's own site for current hours before you go.
