I love raspberries. So much. Iβve been waiting allllll summer to do a big u-pick raspberry haul and finally today was the day. Weirdly, itβs hard to find a farm near me that has u-pick raspberries. This particular farm only does them on certain weekends so you have to call ahead and catch them at the right time. The berries are so sweet and tasty. Iβm excited to eat some fresh and freeze a bunch for smoothies.
We ended up picking 4 pints of berries, ~3lbs, and decided to check out their grapes too. Iβve never done u-pick grapes but this was super fun. They were a bit picked over and hard to find because the plants werenβt trimmed back but we found some beautiful green, purple, and pink varieties. They say they had 16 grape varieties in total, some seeded and some seedless, and we lucked out with all seedless. Idk what to do with this many grapes other than eat them fresh. Maybe jam. Theyβre really delicious either way. Some very sweet, and some very tart.
On our way out, we had to grab half a dozen freshly made cinnamon sugar cider donuts. Twas obligatory.
All in all, this was a really fun way to spend the morning! πβοΈ
