Summer is officially here, and what better way to celebrate than with a fun-filled day of picking fresh, delicious raspberries? We headed to Apple Hills in Binghamton for their opening day of raspberry picking on June 22nd, and it was a berry good time!
Easy for Little Hands
One of the things we love about berry season is how accessible they are. With plenty of ripe berries at just the right height for our kids, it is easy for them to get involved and enjoy the picking process. They had a blast searching for the juiciest berries and filling the basket with ruby red treasures.
