It’s a wrap! A rainy opening weekend for berry season. But we’re so glad we went. Worth the drive to today to pick in the rain. Made it by 7am opening. My sister and I picked until our boots were full of rain water. We highly recommend thunderbird, so many yummy berries!! As I’m working I hear Candi Filios’ voice in my head: “pick on an empty stomach that way you get your money’s worth”. 🥰🥰🥰Gotta try a few as I go to hone my picker skills. I’m getting better at knowing the perfect color for max sweetness 🫐🫐🫐
Side note -I have picked at a farm out at Lake Hudson (made Rachael pull over after a landscaping job years ago) and I know there is one on the other side of Claremore lake. So go find the one closest to you! You’ve got until July 4th to go get those all-American berries!!! 🫐
