Doug and I FINALLY did our June 2013 date! Sadly, we had planned to pick last year, but the late freeze ruined 75% of their crop so we did not make it in time last year.
This year, I watched Blue Harvest Farm’s facebook like a hawk. I marked every weekend as a possible picking weekend and we went out to the farm on opening day!
We got there, got our buckets and headed out to the trees.
Pretty sure I ate as many as I picked!
The rows were full of blueberries and people. We overheard lots of funny conversations.
Some of the trees were so full the branches were hanging low. I had to pick them up to pick the berries. What a problem!
Once we were done we got into the line…
Which was quite long…
In fact, I took a video!
There were three registers open, but it still took a while.
Finally we left with our bounty!
and headed home to lay the berries out on trays overnight. You have to let them cool and sweeten.
The hardest part was keeping my blueberry loving cats away from all the berries!
Love and Hugs, Lizzie
