A Cherry Pickin' Good Time

Last week during lunch time, we headed over to the local U Pick Cherry farm.


I think we started picking Lambert cherries... but after many, we discovered the Rainiers were much sweeter and readier to harvest. Maybe we'll go back next week.
We did have fun eating and picking and eating more when we got home.
Francesca went 4-wheeling in the orchard.
We brought home two sacks  like the one Vincent is carrying for only $5!!! They let you take away a 5 gallon bucket full for $15. A basket at a stand is $3. We probably got at least 8 baskets worth so doing the math... that's $24 worth of cherries that we paid $5. WAY cheaper and fresher than a market.
