Did you know that blackberries are a good, low fat source of vitamin E? They also contain salicylate, which some research suggests lowers the risk of heart attack, vitamin C, and folate, an important B vitamin for cell growth and replication, and which is important for a healthy immune system.

At the Smith Berry Farm, the blackberries are big, ripe and ready to eat! Located outside Rockingham on Terry Bridge Road, the Smith Berry Farm is in its fifth year growing strawberries, blackberries, and greenhouse tomatoes. Brand new at the Farm this summer is homemade ice-cream, made with fresh peaches, blackberries, and strawberries, to name just a few of the flavors available. At the Smith Berry Farm, you can pick your own, or purchase berries already picked in pint, quart, or gallon sizes. Hours are 9-6, Monday through Saturday. Stop by today and pick up some luscious blackberries for cobbler, jam, or just eating all by themselves, and enjoy a healthy, and delicious, treat!
