We picked Cherries at Wells Orchards last week. 49 pounds!
It was a beautiful day in the orchard with friends! The kids had fun and were very helpful! This is Lily with her detective hat on!
Daisy ate A LOT of cherries!
Rosie in her bonnet.
We packed a picnic and had lunch under the cherry trees!
Emilie and Rich picked most of those 49 pounds I think!
We spent the rest of the weekend washing and sorting cherries. I was worried that 49 pounds was too much, but we made short work of it! Emilie spent most of the week making cherry sauces and jams and canning. I froze 2 large freezers bags, made cherry sauce and dehydrated some. I also shared quite a few pounds with friends.
We have also been eating lots or rhubarb while it's been in season too. Kinda sad to see it go. I've got a few jars of sauce in the pantry for this winter.
We're looking forward to Blueberries and raspberries!
What's your favorite fresh local food?
