Out with the strawberries, in with the blueberries!
I absolutely LOVE going berry picking with my kids! I wanted to share this list of local u-pick farms. If you know of any others, please feel free to add in the comments :) Thanks & Happy Picking :)
If you go to any of these farms or "like" their Facebook pages, it would be FANTASTIC if you let them know that Macaroni Kid Brandon sent you :)
