Berrires, Berries, Berries!

I found a U-Pick Berries farm about 30 minutes South of here. I was thrilled when I found out they had both Raspberries and Blackberries. I knew we had to go pick a few pounds, especially when they told me they were thorn-less. A far cry from the Killer Berries Bob and I picked on the canal banks in Washington.

Ethan was a fabulous picker. He picked 1 1/2 pounds of blackberries all by himself. He stuck to it and would shout out "Jackpot" every time he found a cluster of berries to pick.



Avery was a great picker too. The only problem is I don't think any of her berries made it in her bucket...she ate her weight in berries!

When it was all said and done we'd picked 7 1/2 pounds of blackberries and 4 pounds of raspberries. We quickly brought them home and turned them in to Blackberry Cobbler and Blackberry/Raspberry jam. We froze the rest for a future pie or other yummy dessert.
