The Fruit and Berry Farm




On Saturday, Mom, Grace, and I went to the Fruit and Berry Farm in Halls. I've been wanting to take Grace for a while now and was excited to bring home some fresh fruit.






You can go spring through fall and pick whatever fruit is in season. They even have hayrides and fun activities during the fall that I'm already excited about!! We got to pick blackberries and blueberries which I was thrilled about since blackberry cobbler is one of my FAVORITE things to eat!

Grace did pretty well in the blackberry patches, and we got just enough for a cobbler. She was bored (and HOT) by the time we reached the blueberries so out came Nana's tic-tac distraction that lasted long enough for us to get a good number of blueberries.








Their website stated that they had a "petting zoo." When I asked the owners about it, they smiled and said they had some goats and horses in a fenced in area but we shouldn't reach in and touch them. That might defeat the purpose of a petting zoo, but Grace was still thrilled to see the animals nontheless. Unfortunately, a goat had escaped out of the fence so we couldn't get too close. Not that Grace was afraid of it. She tried to get as close as she could to it.


We headed back to the store to weigh in our fruit and check out what other goodies they had to offer. They had apple butter, honey, jams, BBQ sauce, etc. for sale. YUM!! BUT the most exciting thing was their slushies!! DELICIOUS!!












They were SO good, Mom and I decided to have 2 while we waited on Grace to finish hers!! HAHAHA!! Sad, but true!



















We had such a fun morning! We came home with plenty of blueberries and blackberries, apple butter, honey, and a couple slushies to go!! Nana made us a blackberry cobbler that I've eaten for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert!!!
