Picking mulberries
What to expect in the orchard, from sampling to white mulberries.
Yes, please do. Generous sampling straight from the trees is part of the U-Pick experience. The mulberries you take home are paid for by the 8-oz clamshell.
We don't provide ladders, but we have thousands of 6-ft fruit pickers to help you reach the higher branches, and they're safe for kids to use too. Grab one at check-in. Ripe mulberries usually fall into your hand with a gentle tap.
Himalayan mulberries are sweet all season long, as long as you pick the ripe ones. Look for deep purple berries that drop into your hand with a gentle tap.
Each clamshell holds about 8 oz, or half a pound. Mulberries are such a short-season treat that most visitors take home at least four.
Yes. Our white Himalayan mulberry trees are spread across the farm, with one small dedicated area, and they ripen early in the season. Finding them is a bit of a treasure hunt, so we can't promise ripe ones on every visit.
White mulberries are U-Pick only: we don't sell pre-picked clamshells of them, and they aren't sold at farmers' markets or delivered.
We grow Himalayan purple mulberries, a non-staining variety, so you can pick without worrying about your clothes. If you do get a little messy, soap and water is all you need.
