It seems I have been a bit berry crazed this summer so I thought it would be fun to write a berry related post every Monday for the next few weeks. I have pictures, recipes, ideas, and tips so basically it should be really fun.

First up is my trip to the most amazing u-pick berry farm I’ve ever been to. I picked 17 pounds of berries which fueled this idea in the first place. I had just gotten back from San Francisco the night before and I was up early the next day running around trying to catch a bus to my friends house. At this point I was thinking perhaps I had over committed myself, which I tend to do, but when we got to the farm I knew I had made the right choice.

They had u-pick everything! They had marionberries, raspberries, tayberries, boysenberries, blueberries, and blackberries! I was in berry heaven. Every row seemed to be more exciting than the next. I just picked and picked until it was time to go and that’s when I realized I had picked 17 pounds of berries in the same time my friends picked half as many.

^boysenberries! They were huge, it’s hard to tell how large but they are around the same size as a small plum.

^tayberries a mix between a blackberry and a raspberry-oh my!

^blueberries we very plentiful and delicious.

-marionberries, raspberries, blackberries.

Come back next week for more berry goodness! What’s your favorite berry recipe?
