With the two older ones gone at camp, I wanted to make sure I did some special things with the two younger ones. We love berry picking. We started several years ago picking blueberries at the Berry Patch at 223rd/Stateline. I fell so in love with the having fresh berries, we started planting our own bushes. We have a nice blackberry and blueberry patch in our backyard. Every year we add a few more bushes.
Last year we discovered a berry patch up near my in-laws in Highland, KS. Grimm’s Gardens is located North of Hiawatha, KS. I couldn’t believe the size of the berries on their bushes. They were huge! While we were there, I discovered Raspberries. The season for Raspberries was coming to an end, so weren’t able to pick very many, but enough for some Raspberry jam. My taste buds fell in love 
I discovered a new berry patch near Baldwin, KS. Lawson Brothers Berry Farm. Lawson’s has strawberries, raspberries and blackberries. Strawberry season has ended, but raspberries should still be available for another week. If you get a chance, go pick you some. At Lawson Brothers, they are $3/pound. What a bargain! It’s a good thing they don’t weigh you before you pick.
Here’s a few photos of us enjoying our berry picking.
Have a great weekend.
