Redland Blueberries


What a wonderful day to pick blueberries in Oregon. I headed out to Redland, driving the Barlow Trail route through Carver and spent an hour in this gorgeous blueberry field. The bushes abounded with big, plump, flavorful berries. The weather was perfect in the mid 70's and sunny. The experience is always truly memorable, eliminating the middleman, and going to the source for the bounty. No barcodes and checkouts, just pure bliss, harvesting the berries, putting them in a pail, weighing them, paying with cash and heading home where many delicious culinary creations await.
