Fruit Picking

Summer is my favorite time of year. There are so many reasons to love summer but one of my favorite things is all the fresh fruit in Oregon. Here are the available summer fruits and the months to pick them: 

June - July: strawberries and raspberries 
July - August: blueberries and blackberries
August - September: peaches and apples 

There are so many great farms to choose from. Here is a few of our favorites: 

Fordyce Farms for strawberry and blueberry picking. They have a fun little park to play on.

Be sure to call ahead to know when the fruit is ready to pick as each variety of fruit varies. I hope you are able to pick some of your favorite fruit over the summer. Whether you gobble it up straight away, bake something delicious, or freeze it, you can't go wrong.

​Happy Picking!
