Yeah, they eventually break down, but we don't have space in the outbuildings to store these. Eventually we'll keep things like that out of the sun, because you're absolutely right!
Yeah, we usually have a few flame clusters this time of year and have some Syrah that snuck in there as well. It's that lack of real Fall weather at the end of the year that confuses the vines!
Whenever we do menial tasks here on the farm our conversations usually devolve into that! We were harvesting Tepary beans, so it gets pretty boring over time.
Do you guys do Sonoran Wolfberry? They can grow to be monsters here (yet don't spread) and seem to thrive on abuse. Nice to plant on the periphery where they don't need any ongoing soil amendments and just the supplemental water from the nearby garden is enough. They also make a windbreak once grown up. Downsides are that they are thorny and pruning really hurts them for some reason. Best to let them do their thing and to grab berries around the edges (leave the pokey protected ones for the birds). They aren't prolific producers so they don't make a great market plant but the berries are delicious.
We haven't planted the Wolfberry, but we do have it's cousin (goji berry) in a small area next to the chicken coop. It's much like you're describing, a bit thorny and best left to be the crazy bush it wants to be. Not much production.
2:47 think about putting a wheelbarrow or even a bin there, so you don't have to shovel it twice. You could easily transport the bin with a dolly (hand cart used by movers). 💖🌞🌵😷
Glad you enjoyed this one. Harvesting can get pretty mundane, so it's easy to go down rabbit holes to pass the time. Usually we don't have the camera rolling!
Have ya’ll considered making biochar with wood/crop waste? It could help save some water I think. Also, that EON-berry could make an excellent groundcover! Save lots of water too
We may do some biochar, but only on a small scale. It's technically illegal to have a fire out here where we live unless you're cooking food. This would definitely make a good ground cover. I bit prickly, but well covered!
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm I think there are some designs to make biochar while cooking! I don’t remember the name but they exist. Ps: the wood fires make the best soup!
Your berry looks like it could be a boysenberry. Boysenberries are a blackberry/raspberry/dewberry hybrid that's popular where I live. The pictures on wikipedia make them look more elongated, shiny, and dark than they actually are.
We were wondering the same. We had a boysenberry on the old farm and it was very similar to this one. Do you think Rudolph Boysen would roll over in his grave if we re-named his namesake fruit?? 😊
Oregano's is amazing...my boy discovered that when he was at ASU. Wonderful food. And I think I replayed the final 3 min of this 5 times over ... you guys crack me up. Glad your wedding went so well ... and now you can wind down before pruning starts.
I bet that’s a boysenberry plant. The berries look like them and sounds like what they taste like, I’m too lazy to google it but I thought that a Boysenberry was a cross between a blackberry and a raspberry and a dewberry? My aunt and uncle brought me one in a pot a few years ago that I put next to an ornamental plumb in my front yard and forgot about, now I have a massive one wrapping around the tree and it pops up in my lawn constantly, lol. The berries are delicious. I actually hit it with my weedwacker all the time to keep it tame, haha. Triple crowns are indeed thornless and they seem to be a lot more upright than your mystery berry.
Jared, I think you may be right. We had one on the old farm and it was very similar to this. The only thing that is different is the amount of fruit it puts on. The boysenberry we had did fruit well, but this thing over produces when it's peak season. Then again, this one gets a lot more consistent irrigation being in this patch!
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm LOL.Yes it would. She let them naturally spread because she had so many massive timber rattlesnakes on her place. You didn't go into that patch without a big long stick.
There is a native variety of rasberry just called black rasberries that i remember growing wild in northern michigan in crazy low growing patches in the woodswhen i was a child, which may explain why theyre going mad in the cooler weather! They look just like rasberries, but black (obv) and very mild and sweet but not near as tart as rasberries or blackberries. But i imagine it would have to be a hybrid to survive arizona summers!
We were wondering the same as they seem to be a hybrid of some sort. We thought they were going to die over the Summer as we pruned them back to nubs, but they came back with a vengeance one the weather cooled down.
May your son and new daughter share the same kind of love and joy that you two share! Congratulations 🎉 Also, the EON berry is great. EONF berry would just be weird lol
That's a very good description of these. We were surprised how well these did given they act more like a cooler weather berry. They did die all the way back during the Summer but came back with a vengeance this Fall!!
I just got to say that at this point in life I can't really do another plant with thorns. If it has thorns I would burn it. You could call it the burn berry.
Congrats on that new property!!! We have a few viewers from Kingman, so hopefully someone will see your shoutout. In the meantime, please reach out with any questions as we have similar challenges.
It does look similar to that one. The individual druplets are pretty big and the pics of the Black Cap on Google look like they're smaller and tight. 🤔
We had a few folks suggest that. Looking at pics on Google of those it looks like they're red in color when fully ripe and oblong in shape. These are dark like blackberries when fully ripe and more round.
We had a few other folks suggest that one as well and when I pulled it up on Google it looks like it's red when it's fully ripe and oblong in shape. These were dark/black when fully ripe and almost perfectly round. Maybe a cross between Tay and Blackberry somehow??
I had to pull that one up as I hadn't heard of that before. I'm not sure it's a match. This one is dark/black like a blackberry and almost perfectly round. From the Google images a Tayberry looks more oblong and red when it's ripe?
if I had to guess what your mystery is, I'd guess boysenberry? i have 33 types in my back yard (I have a video of them too!), hopefully I'll get a berry out of at least one of them this summer
I'd like to take some of your "Nowhere" berries somewhere to grow. I inturn have some Boysenberries Id like to trade. If you were to propogate these it would be their (as far as I know) fourth generation here in AZ. How about a drawing for the name? I'll toss "Nowhere" in the hat.
We may propagate a few of these and see how they do. The area they're in is a little unique in that they are irrigated much more frequently with mulch that is also kept moist, so they would need very consistent water. Nowhere Berry is good too!
Maybe. I pulled that one up and it is dark like that. The druplets are very large on ours and not very tight though. The Google pics of the BlackCap look like they're small and tight.
10/10. Constructive-criticism, I think the farm could have more bugs in that my compost pile is surrounded by grubs this time of year. IDK how I attracted them but my hens look for them for the majority of their day that they aren't looking for crawfish in the cold-rain. Cricket & small-snake season is over so my hens don't wonder much right now. I'm not suggesting you create a bug-pit but I think the culture could have awareness of more of the bug populations to look forward in seeing. My white vs yellow slime-mold is interesting as well, even though it has been filmed online it's fun to see them at my home(in my worm bin). December 12th is almost here, it's Lion's Mane mushroom season where I hope to see them again.
We are seeing more bug activity as the farm gets more growth around it, but it's confined to the areas we irrigate with the exception of our Winter rains...when we get them! Crawfish huh? I grew up catching those and sure love a good boil!
Hey Dana. We're hoping to get some of those propagated over the Winter and have them available to our customer email list. Not sure if you're on there, but you can join that through our website!
Nowhere Berry, a berry living on the Edge
Living on the edge of nowhere!! Lol
Nowhere Berry is a good one!
My thought exactly. Nowhere Berry!
My cat just loves your program. Her head whipped around when your intro started.
Now that is a VERY smart cat!! 😂
in canada we call those black cap raspberries
I have not heard of those before! Wouldn't that be something to have the same berry growing here as you guys have up North!
11:17 I like the idea of hanging hoses, but doesn't keeping them in the sun cause them to UV rot sooner? 💖🌞🌵😷
Yeah, they eventually break down, but we don't have space in the outbuildings to store these. Eventually we'll keep things like that out of the sun, because you're absolutely right!
I can't wait to buy your EON berry plants!
We're leaning hard towards EONberry. It just has a nice ring to it!
My Thompson grapes are putting off a second batch of grapes right now, have you seen that happen before?
Yeah, we usually have a few flame clusters this time of year and have some Syrah that snuck in there as well. It's that lack of real Fall weather at the end of the year that confuses the vines!
The only certainty is . . .
this is my fave EON Vlog to date.
Aww, I'm really glad you enjoyed this one!!
What are you picking on for so long? Love this hilarious clip, happy you included it.

That would definitely help. We only scoop it once though, as we use the tractor to scoop it from there into a larger pile for composting.
The couple banter is hilarious, you two have great energy! Thanks for keepin' it real in this funny and educational episode! lol
Glad you enjoyed this one. Harvesting can get pretty mundane, so it's easy to go down rabbit holes to pass the time. Usually we don't have the camera rolling!

Edge berry
What do you get at oregano 🌿 s
We may do some biochar, but only on a small scale. It's technically illegal to have a fire out here where we live unless you're cooking food. This would definitely make a good ground cover. I bit prickly, but well covered!
Jake, our favorite is the Hakuna Piccata, but the Zany Ziti is hard to beat. Oh and Lori simply can't pass up the Pazookie for desert!
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm I think there are some designs to make biochar while cooking! I don’t remember the name but they exist.
Ps: the wood fires make the best soup!
My mouth hurts for cracking up a big smile for so long 🤣 At first I thought you were goofing around too much but heck why not!
Those are conversations we have all the time while we're out there doing the menial labor on the farm. The mind just starts to wander to other topics.
Your berry looks like it could be a boysenberry. Boysenberries are a blackberry/raspberry/dewberry hybrid that's popular where I live. The pictures on wikipedia make them look more elongated, shiny, and dark than they actually are.
I love boysenberry jam 👌
We were wondering the same. We had a boysenberry on the old farm and it was very similar to this one. Do you think Rudolph Boysen would roll over in his grave if we re-named his namesake fruit?? 😊
Boysenberry gets my vote!
EON-berries! Perfect
I think we'll go with that!
Your happiness and laughing is wonderful to watch!
Hey there Pam! We had a good time with this one, so I'm glad you enjoyed it!
That berry kinda looks like a sweetie pie blackberry.
Hey Charles! They do look a little like those. They don't have that erect stem that they fruit on, so not sure.
Oregano's is amazing...my boy discovered that when he was at ASU. Wonderful food. And I think I replayed the final 3 min of this 5 times over ... you guys crack me up. Glad your wedding went so well ... and now you can wind down before pruning starts.
Oregano's really is a hometown gem. Not too pricey and it's always consistent!
I love your nugget sign!
I thought you would like that one Chet. They are your namesake after all!
Great turn out for the tour guys!
Hey Eric! We did have a good crew this time around. The weather was near perfect for everyone!

Those berry plants are called "Dew berry, by many. They make a great cobbler. Congratulations to your family.
Ooh, now I think that may be it. Those large druplets give it away!
Those dewberries plants will make plenty of baby plants. I use to pick in a patch, the owner let them spread, Her patch was 2 acres. Yummy
@@okiegrandma1154 my goodness, that would make a LOT of cobbler!!
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm LOL.Yes it would. She let them naturally spread because she had so many massive timber rattlesnakes on her place. You didn't go into that patch without a big long stick.
A berry for the eons!
It definitely is!
Aloha from Hawaii
Congratulations!
You must be proud parents
One day your grandchildren can take over the farm, lol
Aloha! We're hopeful for those grandbabies as well. One way or another, they'll grow up on the farm here!!
Excellent video. Lot to learns about itoi onions. I am your fan since you had old farm.
Hey there Abid. Always great to see you here in the comments!!

Yeah, EONF berry would be strange!
I always just called them bramble berries. They grow wild in Northern AZ.
That's a very good description of these. We were surprised how well these did given they act more like a cooler weather berry. They did die all the way back during the Summer but came back with a vengeance this Fall!!
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm That's awesome! Maybe you can grow winter berries with these so you can produce berries year-round!
@@TheFeralFarmgirl ooh, now I like that idea!!
I said EON-Berry way before you did - sounds great to me! Great minds!!
EON-Berry just fits, huh!
Eline Emeğine Sağlık bu güzel vlog ve video için kolay gelsin bol şans 👍👍👍👍
Teşekkürler Mesut!
I just got to say that at this point in life I can't really do another plant with thorns. If it has thorns I would burn it. You could call it the burn berry.
Ok, now I can go along with this one! I (Duane) absolutely hate things with thorns!
We just bought a 2 1/2 acres in Mohave county. Anyone here farming in Kingman area? Any tips?
Congrats on that new property!!! We have a few viewers from Kingman, so hopefully someone will see your shoutout. In the meantime, please reach out with any questions as we have similar challenges.
New-to-us-berry
Peek-a-boo berry
I like the Peek-a-boo berry!!! 😊😊
Thanksgiving is in about 2 weeks. Are we going to be saying "bye, bye" to the turkey's pretty soon?
Keep on the DL, they're listening to everything we say right now!! 😂
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm, LOL!
GenX here... corn chips = Fritos. Says it right on the bag.
😂😂That's a vote for Lori, I think I know how this will go...
Berry name: Black Rasp!
It definitely may be some kind of black raspberry.
There is a black cap raspberry.
It does look similar to that one. The individual druplets are pretty big and the pics of the Black Cap on Google look like they're smaller and tight. 🤔
Tayberries?
We had a few folks suggest that. Looking at pics on Google of those it looks like they're red in color when fully ripe and oblong in shape. These are dark like blackberries when fully ripe and more round.
Are you going to be selling berry seeds?
Probably not seeds as those are hard to harvest, but we may do plant starts!
I have those exact berries. They are prolific
We have been pleasantly surprised with them. Not near as productive as the Prime Ark and it does have thorns, but really good grower for sure!
Maybe it is Tayberry, isn't that the one that's a cross between a blackberry and a raspberry?
We had a few other folks suggest that one as well and when I pulled it up on Google it looks like it's red when it's fully ripe and oblong in shape. These were dark/black when fully ripe and almost perfectly round. Maybe a cross between Tay and Blackberry somehow??
I would say the berry plant you have is a tay-berry it is a cross between a blackberry and a raspberry.
I had to pull that one up as I hadn't heard of that before. I'm not sure it's a match. This one is dark/black like a blackberry and almost perfectly round. From the Google images a Tayberry looks more oblong and red when it's ripe?
Edge of Knowberry Berry😂
That would be a good one too!
if I had to guess what your mystery is, I'd guess boysenberry?
i have 33 types in my back yard (I have a video of them too!), hopefully I'll get a berry out of at least one of them this summer
It very well could be. Good luck with those test bushes!!

How can we get some of the unknown berry propagations?
Okay I was a little late for the party!🤣😂
Hey Dana. We're hoping to get some of those propagated over the Winter and have them available to our customer email list. Not sure if you're on there, but you can join that through our website!
Blaspberry
That's a good one!
Berry McBerryface
Ok Alan, be honest. Did your kids come up with that one?? 😂😂
Rubus fruticosus L European Blackberry maybe ..Looks like it at least
Hmm, that may be what these are.
Mulberry?
We sure have enough mulberries here on the farm!!
They'd make a tasty wine .
No doubt about that!
Goats will eat about anything, won't they?
They really do and if it's dry and thorny, even better!
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm, that's just crazy!!
To me they look like wild bramble. Your goats will probably love them. But they're a fruit giving weed more than anything else.
Now that is a solid observation. Anything that has thorns is goat food!
EoN berries 🫐🍓👍. Maybe this berry bush is a swing back from the hybrid. Like Roses and their thorns and their origins.
I was wondering the same with this, because it definitely started out thornless until the new shoots from the ground came in.
Marionberry?
We had a few folks suggest that, but I'm really not certain!
