my sister saw a place online where you could pick raspberries for an amazingly cheap price. we put our heads together and decided to make jam. bonus? the farm is super close to her house. neither one of us had picked raspberries before (slave labor at gma's doesn't count), but we were up for the challenge.
the 'farm' is in this sweet couple's backyard. they have such an ideal operation. retired, grow lots of plants and have people come pick the fruit and haul 'em away. it was charming!
however, i was not ready for the intensity of the berry bushes. good thing i wore jeans! you tied buckets around your waste and went to town. you could eat as many as you wanted while you were picking.
they were taller than ava!
bivi fell asleep while we were picking. having a baby strapped to your chest takes the difficulty factor up a notch, but we managed!
my hip bucket.
weighing the goods. 7 pounds for $21! crazy talk.
oh, and this cute little dog was the doorbell that let the owners know someone was here. we pulled up to their house and he comes running out and barks, so they know customers have arrived.
all in all, a great experience. super cheap and fun for adults and kids!
