Cool for the Summer
During the winter a new shade structure was added to the barn so those of you who pick later in the mornings or in the afternoon will have someplace to rest out of the direct sun.
The first leaves are just now starting to come out after their winter dormancy. We had some pretty cold weather this winter as compared to the previous year, so we're hoping that will help the Apache variety (the late ones that need more 'chill hours') do a little better this year.

N40 Berries is a family owned and operated business. We began in 2015 with the planting of 800 thornless blackberry seedlings. The plants grew well, so 2016 will be the first year for actual berry production.
We have four different varieties of blackberries that vary somewhat in height, berry size, sweetness and ripening times. Natchez ripens earliest (early June) and has large berries but may be slightly less sweet than the other varieties. Ouachita and Osage ripen a bit later and have slightly smaller but sweeter berries, while Apache ripens latest (mid-late June) and has large, sweet berries.
Go N on Main/Washington (which turns into Hwy 177). Approximately 1.3 miles past the turnpike, turn left (W) on Glencoe Rd for 1 mile to N Western Rd. Turn right (N) and enter the gate on your left at the top of the hill and follow the gravel drive.
From Ponca City:
Go S on Hwy 177. At 4 miles past “Four Corners” (with a blinking red stoplight) turn right (W) on Lone Chimney Rd, go 1 mile to N Western Rd and turn left (S), and the gate will be on the right about ¾ mile at the top of the hill.
