Berry Picking Vacation

I went on a berry picking vacation, to Bayfield, WI, with my mom this last week-end.





Cottage that we rented.




We went to the farmer's market to pick up ingredients for dinner.

While there we had to stop and take a few pictures in the community garden.






Bayfield harbor and Lake Superior.




View of lake again.






We picked gooseberries and currants at the Good Earth Farm.

The currants were hard work! They are so tiny.



Picking gooseberries.


Then we picked blueberries at Rocky Acres Farm.
Yum! It is the start of the blueberry season, so we got to pick the giant king berries.






Lots of blueberries to pick!



They were HUGE!


View of Lake Superior.



After picking blueberries we went to the Bayfield Art Fair.
I found a prize for next month's giveaway!

While we were at the Art Fair we found a mushroom.
We took it home to cook it for dinner with our farmer's market finds.



Yummy! Our dinner - Eggs from my girls, summer squash, tomato, onion, garlic scapes, mushroom (we found), smoked Lake Superior white fish and vegan bread from the farmer's market.





Too soon it was time to go home, but we had a couple more stops to make before we left.

We stopped at few local shops.





We had to pick up our almond wine bread from The Candy Shop before we left town.
And a few coconut clusters.
We ordered the wine bread the night before, because they sell as soon as they are baked.
They go from oven to someone's home!


Then we stopped at the Bayfield Apple Company to pick raspberries.
We also bought a jar of currant jelly.
They are hard to pick and it is worth every penny!
