Blackcaps

There’s nothing better than going out and picking wild blackcaps. Our family, like many, loves collecting this delicious wild berry and making all types of jams, treats and pancakes. They are fantastic on their own as well with that sweet juicy burst, followed by that satisfying tartness that we all love. Some times it can be difficult to gather enough due to the thicket that they produce. Instead of picking thorns out of my arms and patching up the war wounds after an afternoon of berry picking, I decided to look into cultivating this nutritious berry. I spent time learning and figured out a way to propagate transplants from our own wild thicket. 

We are officially starting our blackcap cultivation here on the farm! With sustainablility in mind, our orchard will be started with our own local genetics to provide everyone with a high quality, and truly local product. Keep following to see what we have coming next!
