Blackberries
At Beekers Berries, we cherish the abundant nature of blackberries, because behind every blackberry hides about 50 tiny ‘drupelets’, packed with precious juice and vitamin C.
With an impeccable balance of sweet and tart, our blackberries offer a taste experience of unparalleled superiority. At Beekers Berries, we strive for nothing less than the very best for those who want to taste the essence of quality and freshness in every bite.
Midnight™
At Beekers Berries, the Midnight™ blackberry has become a well-known name within our range. This juicy and remarkably sweet blackberry owes its name to its deep black color and beautiful shine. With its robust structure, the Midnight blackberry offers a significantly longer shelf life than other varieties, proudly maintaining its place in our assortment.

At Beekers Berries, we choose not to wash our soft fruits. However, this choice is up to you. If you prefer to wash them, we recommend placing the blackberries gently in a colander and rinsing them under cold, running water. Then, let the blackberries drain or gently pat them dry with a paper towel.

In addition to the blackberry, our Beekers Berries collection includes strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, redcurrants, and specialties. These are grown with warmth, respect, love, and expertise so that you can fully enjoy our berries all year round.
