Southern Rabbiteye Season Starts June 23

The bushes are loaded — bending over in some cases — with the weight of huge, sweet berries this year. The are still quite a few green ones, too, but we expect those to be stimulated into ripeness from the first week of picking. With the heavy picking these usually get the first week, hopefully we’ll get a couple of good Saturdays at least for those of you who can’t make it out during the week. While there aren’t as many bushes of this variety out here, this year’s crop is big and sweet! Don’t miss it if you can help it.
The updated, edited driving directions seem to be a lot more accurate. The Google maps page that shows directions also shows map coordinates and your GPS may or may not work with it, since there are about four different types of coordinates. See if it works for you. The GPS and orienteering map-savvy folks may be able to make the conversion.
Expect conditions to be really hot, too. Bring a hat, sunscreen and remember to stay hydrated! Ooo-wee!
