Berry Patch Farm

Recently, Grandma Sheryl came to visit for a long weekend. It's our fall tradition to pick blackberries, raspberries, and apples at a farm. This year, I stumbled across a different farm that offered strawberries and raspberries. It is also fairly close to the airport, so we picked up Grandma and headed to the farm!

This farm is called Berry Patch Farms and is an all organic farm in Brighton, Colorado. They had so much space and so many berries. There were even school field trips there and we never came close to them. It was a great farm and we'll definitely be heading back next year.

We were greeted by this enormous pig, who ironically is named "Bacon Bits". There is nothing "bitty" about this pig!

Then, we headed out to pick strawberries first. Then, we filled our baskets with red raspberries and golden raspberries.

I'd never even heard of golden raspberries, but they are delicious. You have to get them when they are more golden than light yellow. They fall right off the stem and melt in your mouth!

I found a strawberry in the shape of a heart. Big Brother really wanted to eat it. I thought it was too cool to eat, but after Daddy saw it the boys split it in half. At least I got a photo (okay 3 photos) of it!

There were more animals around the farm, plenty of grasshoppers, a snake, and huge spiders. This one was spinning it's web around it's dinner. Kind of cool- mostly creepy!

Another look at the enormous pig (I am starting to feel like this farm had a lot in common with Charlotte's Web at this point!)

They had more to pick at the farm, (flowers, basil, cucumbers, carrots)  but the boys were tired. As you can see in the photo above Little Brother had nothing left in him- so we headed out for lunch.

If you can believe it, these were gone in 3 days! The kids (and adults) chowed down on berries all weekend long. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful memory. They were the sweetest, best tasting strawberries we've ever had.
