Lazy River Farm

Until two weeks ago, the only berries I had ever picked were from blackberry bushes gone wild in the Arboretum or by the side of the road. I grew up in a place where berries didn’t grow wild, but things like avocados and oranges were in abundance. Now that I have discovered this pick-​your-​own berries and subscription farm, though, all of this has changed. Today was my second visit to the delightfully lush Lazy River Farm down south, in Kent.
Lazy River Farm is right now teeming with raspberries and blueberries that you can pick for $ 1.50 per pound. This is about one-​fourth the price I pay for frozen berries at Whole Foods. But please don’t make me calculate the cost of my gas in this equation since I am so happy thinking about how I am fiscally savvy to be picking my own. Plus, it’s really, really fun!
Visit Lazy River Farm on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays from 9 – 5. And be sure to follow all the instructions on the posted signs because these farmers are serious about their wonderful berries.
