shaneagra@gmail.com
Big Springs Berries produces 50,000 plus pounds of marketable blackberries from 3600 plants that get sold to local store locations of regional and national chains, on the farm sales, local wineries and breweries, and farmers markets. A large investment in technology allows for a commercially sized crop of berries in a climate region not normally suited for such. The farm is located just outside historic Lecompton and still has some of the foundations of the old homestead. The fully restored home can be seen on the drive to the farm. It is the second house on the west side of 300rd after exiting highway 40. Big Springs Berries is also one of two training farms for the S.A.V.E. Farm. We donate teaching time, land and use of equipment to train retiring servicemen in various aspects of farm operations. The S.A.V.E. Farm currently manages 25 bee hives and a new planting of lavender. In conjunction with the S.A.V.E. Farm we provide educational sessions around blackberry and honey production.
