A Day On The Farm Is A Good Day Indeed!

STRAWBERRIES!!!
I LOVE STRAWBERRIES!!!

Since moving back to Oregon I get really excited for June because not only is it the start of our gorgeous summers but it means berry season is arriving and that makes this girl who grew up on a berry farm really happy! I swear I would be in heaven if our bodies could handle a diet of just berries...I could eat them all day every day!
For the past two summers I've had fun little berry picking parties with friends at Krugers Farm on Sauvie Island, about 15 miles from downtown Portland. This year we had our picking party near the end of the season (we had a really short season this year) so the berries were smaller than normal but still packed with amazing taste! Some of the berries went to freezer jam, some into a baked goody with fresh rhubarb, some into the freezer for later, and many eaten fresh at each meal for the last few days! Next up is Raspberries and Blueberries...cannot wait!! Farmer Don, see you soon!

Look at this cute map of my favorite farm on Sauvie Island...it's such a perfect farm!

Lisa,

That does look like a beautiful farm! Jody and I often go to a place near here, but the berries are late this season, so we'll be gone. =( At least I picked up some berries at the farmer's market.
