Richard Ham writes in from Ham Orchards to tell me that this weather has unleashed the blackberries, which are ready for all "pick-your-own" comers this weekend. The early season peach varieties are ripening, too. He reports that the stand/store/orchard has added an in-store bakery with fresh breads and cobblers. They've also added peach and muscadine grape slushes. And that's not all. They've built a chicken house and now have 300 hens a-laying cage-free eggs. Ham Orchards is on U.S. 80 east of Terrell and before you get to Elmo. You can pick your own or buy already picked. They've also saved peach ice cream from last year so you can have some now. |

Kim: Thank you for adding Ham Orchards to your blog. I just wanted to say that our ice cream is fresh this year - it isn't left over from last year. Now, what we did do is freeze the peaches and strawberries from last year that we put in the ice cream so we'd have something to start out with but the ice cream itself is made fresh every day. Thank you again, for your comments. Judy Ham

Well worth the trip to get these goodies. We love their blackberries and peaches, plus fresh vegetables. They have a great stock of jams, jellies and other interesting items. Some of the most friendly folks you will ever meet work there and are most helpful too.

Hello Mrs. Ham:
I was at your orchard a couple of years ago and hope to come back soon for some of ya'lls great peaches. I'm in need of a blackberry cobbler recipe. Do you have a favorite you could email to me?
