Last weekend some of our very dear friends moved out-of-state. We are so sad that they don’t live here anymore, but also excited for their new adventure. I wanted to see them as much as possible before they left, so last week we went berry picking together at Berry Patch Farms.
My friend, Amanda, is such an inspiring person. She’s an amazing homeschooling mama, doula who is also in midwife school, fabulous knitter, handmade and organic advocate, and the best friend a girl could have.
Amanda always has the best book recommendations, and she knows all the most fun places to go, like this organic farm.

Inside the store is more yummy organic food.
Like these make-your-own salsa bags. Yum.
Is there a similar place where you live? Tell us in the comments! ♥, Kelly

I can’t wait to go check this place out! I didn’t know pick it yourself farms even existed anymore, let alone a local and organic one. Thanks for posting about this!
Ali says
That looks like fun Kelly! You know how much we love berry picking here in the Northwest!
I absolutely love the salsa bags, glad you included a photo of those. Did you get one? I am guessing not. Raw salsa and breastfeeding a newborn just don’t go together….there is always next year though! 🙂

What a beautiful outing! Love Ginger’s hat! 🙂 The berries are gorgeous and the salsa bags are a great idea. So sorry that your friend relocated, but I’m so glad you had that lovely day together.
xo,
Shirley
Kelly says
Exactly right, Ali 🙂
Shirley, That’s my friend in the photo. I don’t have any of myself from this trip.
Phoebe, You will love it!
Heather says
Oh, I love Berry Patch, glad you guys got to go. What brand of carrier is Lucy in?
Maggy says
AH! My husband and I just decided to do this next week, I’m even more excited now! Sometimes when I look up these farms they aren’t as fun as they look, but now I know! Glad you had fun together 🙂

Wait a second, Kelly do you live in CO or is your friend moving to CO? I live in CO (and am looking for a doula!)and just had a conversation about this very farm, two hours ago. Too cool!
Please clarify!
Kelly says
Robyn, Yes I live in Longmont. My midwife was Jeni, but my friend who is a doula moved to CA (sadly).
