Berry Picking Day at the Farm

The O family welcomed our homeschool group again for our annual Blackberry Picking at the farm! We split into 2 groups, and our group went on Thursday. What a wonderful day!

Steven Joseph went right to work. He claims he had a "turtle" inside this cup!


All 3 working hard to find the ripe blackberries


So sunny!!!

Such a beautiful farm!

Miss Wanda said the chickens would eat the red ones, and Steven Joseph only wanted to pick red ones. So the chickens got a lot of berries that day!



Time to bake blackberry pies!
