Summer Adventures in the Bay Area: Blueberry choosing at Duckworth household Farms in Sebastapol
four pounds OF BLUEBERRIES!
Why, yes, it truly is *that easy* to pick (and eat!) four pounds of huge ol’ blueberries, just in situation you were wondering!
We went blueberry choosing last weekend at Duckworth household farm in Sebastapol. It’s about an hour as well as a half north of San Francisco, as well as you can pick your own organic blueberries right off the plants. every time I’d look over at Connor, I’d see her daintily lifting up her mask as well as sneaking a blueberry into her mouth. I believe she ate more blueberries than she really picked, ha ha ha!

This bit one couldn’t assist herself, LOL!
I can’t blame her, since eating fresh-off-the-vine blueberries is absolutely divine. So sweet, so juicy, as well as it’s particularly satisfying when you discover a truly huge one the size of your thumb, as well as you pop it into your mouth right then as well as there.

Fresh blueberries on the vine. ¡YUM!
We spent Saturday morning there last weekend, choosing blueberries, eating homemade blueberry ice cream as well as watching the sheep circumnavigate the grounds. They regularly stampede around the farm! It’s the coolest thing. You don’t see them at first, however you hear their hooves thundering, as well as then, suddenly! — they come out of nowhere, running as well as jumping in a significant (and extremely cute) herd.

Anywho, this location is super great as well as a excellent location to have an easy, outside household trip in the Bay Area. There’s no fee to go into the farm, so if you wished to stop by for a quick picnic on the grounds or to go fishing in one of the ponds (which is stocked with fish), or to get a scoop of blueberry ice cream, puede. If you’re thinking about choosing organic blueberries — which I extremely recommend! — you have to wait on about 15 minutes in a couple of lines, indication a waiver, wear a mask, method social distancing and, of course, laundry your hands before you go into the blueberry choosing area.
Wear your mask, please!
Once there, you’ll get a little container which you wear around your midsection like a fanny pack as well as a brown paper bag to bring your freshly chosen blueberries.
Picking blueberries off the plant is simple. The plants don’t have any type of thorns or spiky leaves, as well as they’re low to the ground so there’s no requirement to climb anything to get to them. All you have to do is discover the biggest, bluest berries you can, pop ’em off with your fingers, as well as decrease as few or as many of them as you want into your basket. when you have your fill, you can evaluate they out to take them house for $4.50/pound.
¡Muy relajado!

Oh, as well as I keep in mind seeing somewhere on their page that next week (fourth of July weekend) is their last weekend this summer, so if you want to go, make your plans now. I’d suggest going early on Saturday so you can get to the bigger berries before they’re chosen over.
