Ollalie Berries are very similar to blackberries, except they don't have as many thorns! This is one of our first U-Pick crops of the summer season, starting at the end of June or beginning of July. It's also one of our fastest picked, usually only lasting for three weeks. Ollalie Berries to so well, and are so popular, we hope to at least quadruple our crop this next year.
These berries are easy picking, on line vines without too many thorns. When at there ripest, they are very very sweet and juicy, and like to cover the picker with deep red juices on the hands and lips. We don't use any pesticides or chemicals on our berries, so they are all natural, and wonderfully yummy.
