Big helper
Jacob and I went out to pick blackberries last evening. We were hoping it would be cooler but no such luck. There are wild blackberry bushes all along the borders of the woods on the property. Most of the canes are loaded with berries but they are not quite ripe yet.
Bowlful of goodness
I see jam in our future!
Y’all come back now!

About the author
I am a work at home Mom of two of the best boys ever. I am a Nationally Certified Master Groomer and have been grooming out of my home for the last 12 years.
We have recently moved to Greenbrier Tn on 27 acres. We are new to the "homesteading thing" but we are excited to learn. We hope to be filling our farm with many critters and a garden.
We are homeschoolers so everything is a unit study to us. It has been fun to see the boys help Dad cut firewood. We will also be learning how to build a chicken coop in the near future as well.
I have been making handcrafted soap lately as well and I am seeing an improvement in that business as well. It is all natural vegetable and goat milk based soaps. Can't wait to share this experience with everyone.
Nothing better than wild blackberries! I live in a suburb but we are a few blocks from our city’s ampitheater and they have loads of wild blackberry bushes growing wild on the property. I get my son to ride up there with a gallon size plastic bag whenever I need my blackberry fix. They have been ripe here for about 3 weeks now. Yum!
