The Blackberry Farm, based on our ride this past Monday, is still a going concern and yes, I believe that it is next to Stevens Creek which flows from the dam. Further up the creek by McClellan road, my grandmother used to take me for picnics. The area was all orchards and today it is wall to wall mcmansions.
