Where to Pick Blackberries in Maine

Blackberry Season

• Blackberries are ready to pick in Maine from mid-July through August. The berries are ripe when they are plump, firm and fully black. Picking times can vary depending on spring and early summer weather conditions.

Pick-Your-Own Farms

• Many Maine farms provide "pick-your-own" blackberry patches. These farms provide containers and generally sell the berries by the pound. Farms that allow pick-your-own berries include Christmas Farm in Buxton, Spiller Farm in Wells, Moosehorn Farms in Abbot and King Farms in Weld.

Wild Blackberries

• Wild blackberries ripen in Maine from mid-summer to early fall. They will be found growing in thickets in partial shade along roadsides and trail edges, in woodlands, on mountains, in fields, and near the seashore.
