Marietta Blackberries — Steward Farms single cover art

Between seasons, a farmer still works.

Blackberry season is done. Butternut squash is 60 days out. So instead of waiting, I made a song.

“Marietta Blackberries” tells the real story behind Steward Farms — a dad who planted one thornless blackberry cane for his son Josiah, watched it turn into 31 sold pints, and realized something bigger was growing than just fruit. A story of faith, family, and pesticide-free farming in Marietta, Georgia. God designed the harvest. I just wrote it down.

Written by Steward C. Produced with AI music tools. Afro-pop fusion with Georgia soul.

Lyrics

Marietta Blackberries

Verse 1

Started with my son and a couple of canes
Dug into that Marietta red clay
No sprays, no chemicals, sweat and the rain
Just sunshine and faith on the cane

Pre-Chorus

Some days nothing grew, some days I just prayed
Wondered if the harvest would ever come my way

Chorus

Marietta blackberries
Sweet the way they were designed
Straight off the cane
Nothing but sunshine and time
Marietta blackberries
Sweeter than you'd think
God designed the harvest
Tell me that ain't sweet

Verse 2

Neighbors started knocking at my door
Word got out, couldn't grow enough no more
No label, no store, just hand to hand
Fresh from the farm, the way He planned

Pre-Chorus

Started with a purpose, just planted a seed
God grew what I couldn't from everything I need

Chorus

Bridge

He didn't have to make them sweet
But He did
He didn't have to feed us from the cane
But He did
Every berry proof He's good
Every harvest understood

Chorus

Outro

Marietta blackberries
Tell me that ain't sweet
