Even though I was still so exhausted from the Country Living Fair, I realized that we had not gone berry picking yet this summer. Last minute we called another family that we adore and off we all went. This is our seventh year going and it just makes summer complete! We picked berries for a few hours (the children ate while they picked), had a picnic lunch (with Wilbur the pig at our feet the whole time) and shopped in the barn for other organic produce. I even bought a bag full of all the produce to make fresh salsa. I thought it was a great idea and we had so much fun making it. I love that we do this every year and we all look forward to going. All the way home my children thanked me over and over for taking them…always a sign that they thoroughly enjoyed themselves. I always leave wanting a beautiful farm and a huge garden….maybe someday.
My Children Are As Yummy As The Berries….

you met a pig named wilbur? ours was named bacon (he ate the pb&j off the picnic blanket and my shoes are still muddy from trying to “shoo” him away). those raspberries look delicious…and so do the kids.=)
wish i could join you!
What cuties! Looks like so much fun- I wish we had somewhere to get fresh berries here! –
