Tayberries?

[westernmeadowlark]

I'm hoping to find a local source for tayberries this summer to make jam (and just to eat!). For those who are unfamiliar, the tayberry is a cross between a blackberry and a raspberry with a wonderful sweet-tart flavor. I would love to find them at a farmers market or u-pick. I think they should be in season mid-summer, but was wondering if anyone had seen them around in previous years. I'm in the east bay but would consider driving a little ways out to get them.

Thanks!

Swanton Berry Farms near Pescadero grows them. They're right next to the olallieberry u-pick. Pretty sure they don't have a tayberry u-pick but you could call and ask them where/when they sell them.

An ex-co-worker used to pick tays at some bay area farm. Not sure which one though.

Looks like Yerenna Farms is also at the Oakland farmer's market near me. Thanks so much folks! :)

I've bought them at the Alemany market, in bulk, for jam making. They'd be a lot cheaper than the Ferry Building, if that matters to you.

Yerena sells them at Ferry Plaza in the summer.
