Greenbluff is a place I have written about many times before. And this, by no means, will be my last!
They have orchards that our family loves to visit all times of the year. Whether you are in the market for fruits and veggies in the summer,pumpkins in the fall, or a Christmas tree at Christmas, you can find it as Greenbluff!
This was the first time we've picked raspberries though, and it was a complete fluke. We went up to get peaches. Fresh peach cobbler sounded amazingand we took a spur of the moment trip up. As we were driving around I saw a signfor raspberries and we decided to stop.
A lady in the parking lot told the bushes were pretty empty, and the raspberriesthat were there, were not ripe. But we took a chance and decided to go look ourselves.I'm so glad we did because the bushes were filled with amazing raspberries! I'm not sure what the lady was looking at because they were everywhere!
We started picking and filling our bucket. I really wanted enough to make some freezer jam, even though I hadno idea how many that would take because I've never made it before. So we just picked and picked!

Oh this seems like so much fun! I haven't gone berry picking in a couple of years now and I miss it.. I can't wait until we settle down a bit so we can do fun things like this again! Can't wait to see your freezer jam! Nom nom nom!
