I stole an hour away from a crazy day off to head up to Wildwood Farm in East Dorset,VT. Blueberry Time!
My friend Elizabeth used to live at the farm, but I had never been up to pick berries except once with a glass of wine in one hand..... surely not a serious picking mode. Yesterday was sweltering hot with a nice breeze. I lasted for one bucket full.
Wildwood Farm is a special place. It is owned by a very creative guy, Scott Mackenzie. Go up for picking berries, but enjoy the view. They have 2000 bushes of Raspberries and Blueberries. Raspberries have just finished up but blueberries are plentiful.
Wildwood is open from Mid-July to Mid-Aug. 9am-5:30pm 802-362-4519 6 miles up Mad Tom Rd. It's just off RT 7 and follow signs.
Wildwood Farm says, "Our sweet and juicy berries are due to the unique growing conditions in the Vermont mountain air."
Last night I made a simple almond cake and added a little whipped cream and blackberries I'd picked up on my way home as well as huge handful of just picked berries. Delightful.
time to get back to work,
xoxo,
