Blackberry Oaks Farm is a small family owned and operated farm in Rains County Texas. We began our little homestead in 2017 from “raw” land that had beautiful oak trees and wild blackberries all over it (since then we have learned they are dewberries). Over the next few years our little farm began to grow, but boy were we in for a learning curve! Being raised in the city we knew very little about homesteading, but were willing to learn. Many days went by that we joked about calling ourselves Chaos Acres as we found ourselves getting animals before we had fences or trying to garden but planting the wrong things in the wrong month for this crazy Texas weather! But despite all the chaos, we were learning so much and have grown in our knowledge and abilities. By 2020 we established Blackberry Oaks Farm LLC so we could begin selling our eggs and other produce from the land. We have had lots of animals over the years, some more enjoyable than others, but as of 2024 we have cows, chickens, and a couple of geese. Our gardens are still in learning phases, but we are working on a berry garden, fruit trees, and a high tunnel to grow other produce in.
We look forward to seeing what the future will bring. Thank you for coming along side us in this journey!
