blue hills berries and cherries, silvan
/When the sun is out the berries are ripe for the pickin'! What better way to enjoy a beautiful sunny day than slopping on the sunscreen and slapping on a hat and waltzing among the berries at Blue Hills Berries and Cherries UPick! If you are up for variety - this is a great spot to start.
Blue Hills have three sites. Two are just for cherries - George and Chapman Roads - and the main farm - on Parker Road - is where you will find strawberries and raspberries and some other seasonal varieties of berries. Cherries you can book your tickets for entry, the other berries you need to check the seasonal Fruit Report and head to the farm gate for entry. Hot tip - arrive early.
Mamma's recommends bringing a helping hand to travel up and down the hills (especially if you have toddlers) but definitely give it a go - the berry stained smiles are adorable!
: Be sure to check the Fruit Report on the Blue Hills website the night before your visit to check what fruit you can expect to pick on your visit.
