WE NEVER MISS A CHANCE TO GO BERRY PICKING

July 10, 2024

Who doesn't love berry picking? Every summer my family and I have embraced the delightful tradition of heading out to our favorite farms with baskets in hand, eager to harvest sweet gifts. Since my children were babies, berry picking has become a cherished ritual that fills our lives with joy and laughter. Our favorites to pick are strawberries and blueberries, but when our beloved strawberry farm closed its doors after the owners retired, and our go-to blueberry farm suffered mightily due to the last two years of a drought, we faced the bittersweet challenge of finding new locations of your annual escapade. 

This year our search lead us to the picturesque Little Hill Berry Farm. What a gem it turned out to be! The moment we arrived, we were greeted by rows upon rows of luscious blueberries and vibrant currants waiting to be picked. The air was filled with the sweet scent of ripe berries, and the sight was simply enchanting. The small store on-site was a delightful bonus, stocked with an array of locally made items that showcased the region's artisanal talents. It felt good to support local farmers while enjoying the fruits of our labor - and speaking of fruits, the fact that the berries are organize only adds to the charm of this wonderful farm.

If you're a berry-picking enthusiast and find yourself in Minnesota, Little Hill Berry Farm is an absolute must visit. It's more than just a fun family outing; it's a chance to reconnect with nature, indulge in organic delights, and create unforgettable memories together. Each year may bring new challenges and changes, but the joy of berry picking will forever remain a beloved tradition in our lives.
