Blueberry and Blackberry picking at Vollmer Farm

Last weekend we took Avery to an organic pick-your own farm to pick blueberries and blackberries at Vollmer Farms.  It is a neat place, with lots of fruit to pick throughout the year, homemade ice cream stand, a playground, and during the fall they have hay rides, family movies in the barn, etc.

We met up with our friends Ariel and Chris, and their son Jude who is a month older than Avery.  Avery and Jude get to hang out a lot, and they are good friends!

They liked the wagon ride out to the field.




Avery loved sitting down and literally picking the "low hanging fruit", and then eating them!


After picking out in the sun, the kiddos needed a drink break from their sippy cups

Then they played on some of the fun toys!  Avery sat in the old plane (painted like a pumpkin for the fall season I guess!)



Then daddy joined her in the cockpit



Then Avery took a drive in the John Deere tractor!



When Avery and Jude were on it together we thought it was cute, it looked like Farmer Jude driving his wife Farmer Avery around the family farm!



Avery also loved drawing with the chalk



Then we went into the gift shop, Avery and Jude had a "date" at the kids table.


We ate homemade ice cream with homemade waffle cones, then Avery tried her hand at checkers


We can't wait to come back later in the year to pick more fruit, and to come in the fall for hay rides and movie nights in the barn!
