Pick berries in Sequim

Dear Sequim visitors,
One of our first posts when we started our Sequim town blog reporting casually about our retired life in Sequim, one of the best retirement town in Washington state, was about picking berries in Sequim.

We were impressed by the variety of berry farms in Sequim which offered u-pick berries. Ever since the beginning of berry season this June - remember we noticed that strawberries were ripe very early this year due to the nice weather - we are regularly picking fresh berries for our morning cereal and just for eating them by themselves.

We woke up to a nice sunny Saturday morning this weekend (some early fog lifted soon). At around 10am I took off for picking strawberries at Graysmarsh Berry and Lavender Farm for u-pick berries. After I had picked enough strawberries, I decided to check on the raspberries and believe it or not, there were already quite a number of ripe and sweet fruits (they need to fall into your hand, otherwise they are not ripe).

Well, we were not done picking berries for the day. We decided we check on the blueberries (great anti-oxydants) of a small organic garden where we had picked last year. We were really lucky and picked 1/2 lb of great ripe early blueberries and even some sweet Rainiers cherries.

Well, this is your chance to stay in good health with fresh, vitamin rich berries. Enjoy berry season in Sequim. Greetings from the Sequimers
