Berry-Picking Boni Bunch!

For the last couple of years, my fellow twin mommy friends have raved about their experiences with taking their kiddos to pick berries... some even said, "It's not that far from your house, you should go." But we never went. 

TODAY was the day... today we went!!

I now wish we had gone sooner... it was SO FUN!!

The way it works is you can pick and pick and pick during their business hours (5hours/day). Pick as much as you want as often as you want. You can buy everything you pick for $3/lb OR you can do their "share" program. For every 2 pounds you give them of what you've picked, you get one free!! 
 
It was a tad-bit windy!!
So, it's a fun AND FREE activity for the kids and me... AND they technically paid us in blueberries to harvest their crops!


 I LOVE THIS DEAL!!

We picked for just over an hour and we accumulated 12 pounds of berries. So we got to keep 4 pounds for ourselves. 

WOW... do you know how many blueberries that makes?? I gave some to mom and MIL and we still have 2 full freezer bags of them! PLUS, the cool part is that we can go as often as we want and get more.

Why on earth didn't I do this sooner??


The kids had a blast!! We found lots of fun creepy bugs, and we even found a bird nest in one of the bushes!! AND, the nest had eggs.... three of them!! Super cool, right!!?? 

We will definitely go back again before the blueberries are all gone.... We loved this experience!!

  1. YES! So much fun. Your farm looks a little nicer than ours! Ours is mostly rows of dirt with berry bushes! Make some blueberry muffins :)
