Fresh Picked Blueberries!

    Boy, do I have a fun activity to share with you! This past Tuesday I went Blueberry Picking! So much fun! There is this precious little farm way out on 71st street that grows lots of different berries. There's raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries. The blueberries were simply perfect for picking. So ripe, and so delicious! Wanna go? You can find info for Thunderbird Farms right here.

Here's the rows and rows of berries

Pickin' away!

    Here's the blueberries. No lie, these were amazing!

  Lynnlee and her mom were wanting to make Laney, Lynnlee's sister, a blackberry cobbler for her birthday. YUM. What could be better than fresh picked blackberries in a delicious cobbler?! The blackberries weren't quite ready. There were some ripe ones at the bottom of the vine so we ended up digging for those. We got enough though! Here's just a few.

These were good ones, but most of them looked about like these below. They just weren't quite ripe yet. They should be perfect for picking the first week in July.

 

 

   In case you didn't click on that link, here's the pricing for the berries.

Blackberries: $2.50/lb
Raspberries:  $5.00/lb
Blueberries: $3.00/lb

Hours: 7am-12pm on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

   Really, it's not too pricey. You'd be surprised at how much a pound of berries is! I thought it was a super fun Summer Activity that won't make ya broke! Hope you decide to take a trip out there!
