Take a Ferry Ride and Pick Blueberries at Finnriver Farm
If you’re looking for something to do next Sunday, it’s blueberry picking season out at Finnriver Farm. The farm is located in the rural Chimacum Valley, a traditionally agricultural region on the Olympic Peninsula about 12 miles south of Port Townsend. These blueberries are certified organic, so you couldn’t get better ones even at Whole Foods. (Besides, it’s more fun to pluck them off the bushes than off the shelf at the grocery store anyway.)
The farm is open on Sundays and Tuesdays from 10am to 4pm, and it costs $10 per car of pickers, so it pays to carpool. You can show up and pick on a first-come/first-serve basis, or you can email for reservations (info@finnriverfarm.com). Buckets are provided.
There are Sunday events from now through September, which include musicians, juggling, and storytelling, so you can have some entertainment while you’re filling your bucket with plump, juicy blueberries.
More information and directions are available on the Finnriver Farm website:
