Blueberries are big and they taste so good!

One of the things I love being here in the Pacific Northwest is going to farms picking berries and flowers. It's such a wonderful feelings and the experience is priceless, I love it!
It was Friday afternoon, a cooler day, we thought it was a great time to go pick blueberries and flowers. Didn't want to wait for the weekend where the u-pick farms get too busy with people picking. It was easy and quick pick. We got a total of five and a half pounds of blueberries and 20 steams of flowers.
My 8 year old son says "I like it very much" it was priceless hearing that from him.

Why do we love coming here?
Last year was our first time to this place. We love it because their blueberries are big and taste so good. Strawberries were delicious as well (strawberry season are over now) I haven't tried their raspberry yet since I'm not that pond of raspberry, I might pick some someday.
I also love their u-pick flowers, especially their dahlias. They have many varieties of dahlias, the patterns, the colors, different sizes, they all so wonderfully amazing!
The girls in the booth are friendly, always get a good customer service from them.
