A trip to the farm + fresh berries = cobbler!

The other day we woke up early, plied in my friends car mini-van and drove out to Underwood Farms.  Our original plan had been to go cherry picking.  Yet, the original farm that we wanted to cherry pick at, kept delaying their opening day.  We were getting impatient and decided to go to one of our old favorites.  This is one of those places that I am sure when my kids grow up they will look back and have fond memories.

It was a great day!  We picked blackberries, string beans, spinach, kale, squash, sunflowers, chard, lettuce and so much more.  After picking our goods, we visited and fed some of our favorite furry friends, weighed our veggies and left before it got too hot.  We stopped at In n Out on the way home.  How ironic is that?

I had tons of blackberries.  Made a cobbler!
