Picking Berries at Graysmarsh Farm
It’s that time of the year again. Blueberries are in season here in the state of Washington. So, I started on a quest to find a berry farm that was reasonably close. I found Greysmarsh Farm in Sequim. The drive is just over an hour, but a beautiful one. We crossed the Hood Canal Bridge and drove right next to the Olympic National Park all the way to Sequim.
Once your arrive, you will see a couple U-Pick stands. Here, you can purchase buckets if you didn’t bring your own. We bought a few buckets so we could reuse them when we go pack. Make sure you get the lids when you pay for your berries.
In addition to blueberries, Graysmarsh has lavender, raspberries, loganberries, and even artichokes. Yesterday when we went, the blueberries and raspberries were ready for picking, but the loganberries looked like they were just getting ready to start. So, we decided to pick the blueberries. We ended up with over a gallon. Their prices were very reasonable: just $2.00 per pound for the blueberries and only $1.75 per pound for the raspberries and loganberries.
I’ve already made a batch of blueberry sauce. It’s perfect over vanilla bean ice cream. We are definitely going back for more!
