Set nestled in fir trees surrounded by small mountains you find a river flowing past vast fields of sweet blue berries. The farm house, surrounding berry processing buildings, U-pick stands and gift/U-pick pay shop are a delight to the senses. There are many small touches that bring this farm past just getting your berries in a bucket. The buckets themselves are a good size for any adult to carry. I filled mine just over 1/2 full and had five pounds of berries. They also have cut baby buckets for kids to use. The row that are open are well marked with colored tapes and the father you into the rows the larger and more plentiful the berries! Here is a hint, go around 2/3 pm and walk all the way down to the West end of the row, this is where I found bushes heaped with large ripe in the "SHADE"! I could have sat in the grass and filled my bucket with out moving! This is a great place to bring your friends and family. The gift/U-pick pay shop has fresh berries for sale buy the pint/flat, honey, drinks, and other things for sale. There are some cute wooden "put your head through" cut-outs where you can take fun photos. All in all, it's a pleasant drive, in beautiful valley to pick delicious berries, and you can make blueberry pancakes the next morning!

While most of the parking directly in front of Anthony's is reserved for their customers, there is still plenty of parking available nearby, including visitor parking for the neighboring building on weekends. The market is clean, well organized, and even has clean public restrooms, which is always appreciated. One of the highlights of my visit was Perkins Family Farms. I had the pleasure of meeting Llewyn Merrill, the sales manager, who was incredibly friendly and welcoming. He freshly shucked oysters for us right on the spot for only $3 each, and there was no minimum order. The oysters were fresh, delicious, and definitely worth trying. We also picked up several baked goods, including the cheese bread and a plain croissant, both of which were very good. The cheese bread had great flavor, although it was a little chewy, likely because it had been baked earlier that morning. Overall, I had a fantastic experience at the Olympia Farmers Market. There was an impressive selection of fresh fruits, vegetables, berries, mushrooms, seafood, flowers, local crafts, and other unique products. The friendly vendors and welcoming atmosphere made this an enjoyable visit from start to finish. I highly recommend stopping by, especially to visit Perkins Family Farms for their outstanding fresh oysters and excellent customer service. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Olympia!

It turns out that each garden is 'worth' $1,000 if you're including materials, labor, and gas to transport. I'm very impressed with how many neighbors they've been able to help.

My husband bought it as a Christmas gift after I wouldn't shut up about Kingsolver's book, "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle." Happy Hen delivers, which is SO cool for a working-mom-who-cooks-most-nights.

Our subscription includes weekly free-range eggs, and other occasional treats like bread, honey, organic walnuts, and an end of season tea towel. The only question is, will he buy it for me again next year? P.S. You can also find Happy Hen at the Olympia Farmer's Market. P.P.S.
