A Little Last Minute Blueberry Picking

All ready for vacation. Camper packed, food packed, clothes packed, everything packed. Major husband disaster. He”s fine and working it all out – but there I was, suddenly stuck with a free Saturday! Last week, when we decided to go on this trip (that we have not left for yet), I was being a food nerd as usual and thinking – oh no, if I don”t get my blueberries on the long weekend, I do not think I will have a chance to get them before they are gone. I had horrible thoughts of mid-February, hurting for a serious blueberry fix for muffins or even on top of granola. Well, I guess I do not have to worry my blue-smurf-head about that anymore, because I called my mom up and we drove out to Kusterman”s Blueberry Farm for a little U-pick this afternoon. Last year I visited Arrowwood and you can read about that beautiful place here. This year we tried Kusterman”s and it is much bigger! Bigger is not always better,but speaking of big – the blueberries are HUGE this year,it must be all the rain. If you have kids, nephews nieces that are into farm animals this place would be a great place to take them, they have a goat, some rabbits and a few baby chickens to look at up close – oh, and what kid does not like blueberry picking? The blueberries are all covered in nets to keep the birds away, it is quite the operation. Oh and getting back to the “bigness factor”- there will be no shortage of berries if you visit this farm, there are acres and acres of them. 23216 Springwell Road Mount Brydges, ON NOL 1WO 519-264-9199 http://www.berryblue.org/index.html  Read More
