Yesterday was one of my all-time favorite days with the kids. As soon as we finished our breakfast we piled into the car and drove to South Barlow Berry Farm to pick Strawberries.
So. Fun.
It was cool, low 70s, only a few other people there. The kids ran and picked and laughed and had so much fun. When we started getting hungry we quit and took our buckets and boxes over to weigh:
31 lbs.
Not bad! The best part? 31 lbs. only cost $31 and these strawberries are melt-in-your-mouth delicious. There’s probably only 20 lbs left today …
So there’s obviously lots more to eating whole foods on a budget, and for those of you who know me well I’m pretty passionate about this, so we’re not taking much time for it today because and we’ll talk more about it (lots more about it) later and … well, because last night I was too busy freezing berries to write much more on this post. 😉 BUT, we’re over at Frugal Living NW talking about Making Summer Last by taking advantage of these fresh fruit deals and freezing them for later months. Enjoy! Read the rest here…

Oh looks wonderful… I remember picking berries as a little girl they won’t let the little kids do that any more but it was a good discipline and a bit of money.
Yum I just might have to go find some berries today.
Hey Kari, does that farm in Canby have no spray strawberries??
