We always enjoy going, and even though the company we bring changes a little every year, (first two years my sister was here. Sad not to have her this time) we love this new tradition. The place we go to is so calming. The owners are this old couple and they are so friendly and chatty. They have a bunch of wild flowers for you to pick as you leave for free. There are rows and rows of berries and only a handful of people there. There is a wall of tall trees that play the wind that weaves through them. And for one day, you're just not afraid of bees, you mingle with them.
It's about 185% better than going to the grocery store and grabbing a small case of over prices berries.
It's things like this that make me wonder if I'd rather churn my own butter and bake bread every day. (Too extreme...?)
Also, June was the cutest little girl. She loves to find and pick the red berries. They gave her her own little bucket to fill. She would put maybe five in and then eat them, then repeat this process.
We came home with SIX pounds of berries! Awesome. Jade made some raspberry tarts that night. We have since eaten an entire container (out of the three) and have plans for some french dessert, jam, and more dinner side dishes. We love it.

So fun! How long are they in season? I would love to take my sister and go some afternoon.
Dang...I want to go there!
