Berry Picking

There are few things in the growing season we enjoy more than in-season berries and stocking a freezer full for the winter.   This batch of strawberries came from a pick-your-own farm over in Farmington, NH.  Yesterday we went to a mountaintop full of wild blueberries.  The wild berries are much smaller and slower to fill a container, but they sure do pack a punch of sweet flavor.   Despite a number of ticks we pulled, some bear droppings, and our three year old eating most of them before we got home, it's well worth the effort.
