Posts Tagged ‘Blackberries’

We spent our Saturday at Sauvie Island which is a cluster of farms (many of these farms have veggies and fruit picking) and markets just 20 minutes drive from our place. It’s the most beautiful summer’s day in Portland — not too hot in the sun, not too cold in the shade and with blue sky and perfect breeze.

Pretty flowers (you can cut these yourself to purchase by the bunch).

There are sunflowers too.

And then we drove around the island for a few minutes and found a U-Pick farm (they grow all kinds of fruits and veggies that can be picked and paid for by the weight — like a grocery store that grows on earth). Blueberries and Blackberries are in season now!

These are the most gorgeous black berries ever, and they taste amazing!

We were told that blueberry season is ending soon, but we still found plenty of delicious blueberries.

It makes me happy that, living here in Portland,  our kids get to experience simple and wonderful things about nature — like that yummy things grow on earth (and not in grocery stores pre-washed and packaged in plastic!) and that ever changing edible blessings comes with continuously cycling seasons.
