Berry Picking


I look forward to this time of year, every year. Its berry season here in Colorado and the raspberries and strawberries are rip for picking! We found a gem in a haystack in Colorado. A pick your own berry farm! We went last year and returned this year as well, had so much fun. I LOVE picking berries and not afraid to wade shoulder deep in some thorny patches filled with bees in search of that honey hole patch with juicy ripe Red berries. There is just something about it, I can't explain. Maybe because its all natural, no pesticides, organic. Or the fact the berries just taste better knowing they were picked from our fruits of labor? Every year we land here, every year we will return. We got tons of strawberries, raspberries, Golden Raspberries, Zucchini, Specialty Melons, Green Tomatoes

Berry Patch Farms






  

We visited berrypatchfarms this weekend and hand harvested tons of organic berries straight from the farm, talk about yummy & fun! I have been on a farm kick lately, with the seasons changing I have been on the hunt for farms and orchards for pick it yourself produce. Caleb and I spent hours on the farm picking and then later testing. The strawberries were some of the best I have ever had, super sweet! I also tried Golden raspberries for the first time. We had our lunch there and then headed on home, I'm on the hunt for a good homemade raspberry pie recipe! Watch soon to see if I found one and the results
