Blooming Blueberries

Blueberries are one of my favorite fruits, when it comes down to fruit in general, I LOVE Blueberries!!!

Since I am focusing on living in a healthy lifestyle this year for my birthday weekend I decided that I would like to go to the blueberry farm in Snohomish County. I was lucky enough to find the Mountainview Blueberry Farm in Snohomish County was having a Blueberries and Sunflower festival this weekend.

When I first found out the news they were having a Blueberry and Sunflower festival this weekend I knew that I had to be there. This is my second time picking blueberries and my second time at a Blueberry Festival. The first thing that came to my mind was that this would be perfect for juicing. Blueberries give my juice in the morning that extra sweet kick that I need in my morning juice to taste better.

When we first arrived to the Mountainview Blueberry Farm a tour guide directed us to the parking lot; which initially was located at a bottom of a dirt road. After finding parking, another tour guide met with us and explained to us that we will need to walk another 25 yards to pick the bigger blueberries. We had the opportunity to choose a bucket ranging from 4 lbs to 25 lbs.

After walking 25 yards with my blueberry bucket in hand, we finally made it. Just seeing the fresh blueberries, they were absolutely magnificent! I have never seen something so lucious and beautiful. They had about 10 rows of Blueberry trees blocked off for tourists to pick their lucious blueberries. Going through the Blueberries you really had to focus on getting the biggest ones. Some of them were not fully ripped so showed up green in color. The real big ones were big and juicy.

The difference between this Blueberry Festival and the one I have been to on the east coast is that the east coast had a whole Blueberry event. With Blueberry pies, and food that you could taste with Blueberry as the main condiment. At the Mountainview Blueberry Farm they just had the Blueberries that you picked to purchase and some honey or syrup to purchase. Although, they didn't have all the festivities it was still a relaxing experience to be able to pick fresh Blueberries that our grocery local store purchases Blueberries from.
