Berry heaven

Graysmarsh Farms has u-pick berries that start with strawberries that ripen in June. Then come raspberries, loganberries, and boysenberries. Summer ends with blueberries and blackberries. Bring a container, have it weighed, then head into the fields. On a clear day there’s a wonderful view of the Olympics and most any time it’s a delightful spot to pick luscious fresh berries as you dream of preserves or pies or other yummies.  And don’t forget the lavender! 

The labor pays off if you love fresh berries. These fresh raspberry gems cost $2 per pound. How much are they in your market?

Hurricane Ridge

A trip to this area is not complete without going to Hurricane Ridge.  It is located 17 miles south out of Port Angeles (which is about 15 miles from Sequim).  You’ll definitely need good brakes coming down because it’s a pretty steep, winding road down but it’s a beautiful place, so peaceful and lots to take in.  I’ve seen bear, deer and other animals on the drive there and back.

My husband took these photos yesterday.  We took a trip up in the fall too, you can see those pictures here. I’ll post some more tomorrow.
