Berry Picking at Alstede

9.05.2014

 Last Saturday we went berry and peach picking in New Jersey. We trekked over there with our friends, Hoon and Kari and their cute little girl Mia. This was another thing we had been wanting to do and it was a perfect day to hit up the farm! We left pretty early in the morning after Charley woke up since it was about an hour drive and we wanted to get there before it got too busy. This farm is HUGE! You get to take a tractor hay ride to all the different spots. The first stop was apples and there were rows and rows of different kinds of apples. We got off on the next stop for some blueberries and peaches! The blueberries were delicious and tart and yummy! Charley and Mia were in heaven!!! They ate tons and tons straight from the bushes! They were loving life.
These two are so cute!! 
 After getting some blueberries, we went up to the peach trees and picked the biggest, roundest, ripest peaches! They were so good! We got a few off the ground that had already fallen and ate them! YUM! 
 They also had a few rows of wild flower so I bought a few sunflowers to take home! 
 After we got our fruit, we took the tractor back to the main area and took some silly pictures, pet some farm animals, had some homemade ice cream and ate some snacks. It was a perfect day for picking fruit and we even found a flea market on our way back home where I picked up a cute gold elephant broach!:) 
Blueberries, Raspberries and Blackberries!
