More berries were in store for us last weekend! Katherine was here for Labor Day, and she had raspberry picking on her mind! We found a great little farm up in Bryant (about an hour north of Seattle) with raspberries a few and blueberries aplenty. Nate had gone hunting with Bryan for the weekend, and we joked that we were all fulfilling our evolutionary responsibilities.
Nate to hunt. Us to gather.

These fall raspberries were just starting to ripen! We were so fortunate to be there for their debut weekend!


We had to search long and hard for the raspberries, but it was worth it! Blueberries were a different story! Not only were the bushes over our heads, but they were literally laden with fruit! I picked 5 pounds in 45 minutes. (That does not count the 1.25 pounds I consumed!)



There are 350 blueberries in a pound, and it takes only one pound to make a pie!
