We took our second trip out to Red Fire Farm this weekend and picked our own cherry tomatoes and beans. We were also going to pick flowers, but I forgot the scissors AND it started to lightning. We picked the tomatoes and beans in the rain, but when the first lightning flashed I made sure we got back to the car. I was hoping the rain would hold of till 3pm, but no such luck, but we didn't let it ruin our fun. We still got some picking in and we stocked up on organic veggies from the farm. No photos, I had the camera, but with the rain I didn't bring it out.
Sunday we went to Connors Farm in Danvers MA to pick blueberries and raspberries, pretty place
Blueberry picking is alot harder than you think. Especially if it's early in the season and not a TON of berries are ripe. You have to pick ripe ones, one at a time instead of grabbing handfuls at a time. It was getting hot and between the 2 of us we had only filled 1 quart, so we decided to give up and buy the rest from the farm stand. Cheating I know. We went over to the raspberry bushes and it is later in the season for them so they were pretty picked over and there were TONS of bees buzzing around so we ate what we found and bought some from the farm stand to take home.
I made blueberry scones when we got home....YUMMMY!
