One of the best parts of choosing which ones to pick is “taste testing.” It is always recommended to taste the different varieties of what’s out there, so you know whether you want a sweeter taste or a more tart taste. Of course, by default, by the time you are ready to leave the farm, you’ve eaten as many as you have picked….and loved every one of them. There are rows and rows of blueberry bushes just ready to be picked for your bucket and taken home. It was a especially nice day on the day we went, so it was nice being able to just take our time and have fun while we were out there. The bushes were loaded with blueberry clusters as well as the cherry trees. There were at least 5 varieties of blueberries and a couple varieties of cherries as well.
You can check out my post about Baking with Blueberries as well for some more delicious blueberry recipes.
Next, it was time to take home our stock of fresh fruit. I had a recipe to try for blueberry muffins again…and….they came out…A-MAZ-ING!!!
Blueberry Cream Muffins
Now for a little bit of CREATIVITIY…
I even tried out a great blueberry smoothie recipe as well, another great breakfast on the go drink. I love smoothies on a hot day and I can’t always make it over to a smoothie place to buy one, so it’s great when I’m able to grab some fresh fruit and yogurt to make some of my own when I have a craving for a smoothie.

I tend to vary my ingredients by what I have on hand, but this mix usually produces a really great smoothie to start off your morning with!
