Amazing. We went to pick blueberries and raspberries last weekend -- the sun was a-shining and the berries were soooo delicious and warm as we plucked them off the bushes. Ventured over in mid-July and the rasp season was just winding down, but there were still a few to be had. The bluebs were bountiful and they had a bunch of different types to pick (some that were best for eating, some for baking, some for both).
For bluebs it's $2.40/lb if you pick your own, and $8/quart if they pick it for you. I think a pint is $5 if they do the hard work? A wonderful activity for the whole family -- blueberries are really easy to pick and w/o pricklies -- the raspberries are a bit tougher, but amazzzzing.
Bring SPF, a sunhat, and your game face -- it's tempting to spend all day strolling in the orchards (? is that the proper term?). Oh, the farm stand also sells baked goods and amazzzzing creemees featuring their fruits. Worth every calorie. Vermont, I love you. read more
