Childhood meant exploring the woods with my friends, picking wild berries, and going home with stained red or blue hands. Becoming a mom, though, took my adventures from the woods to local farms for pick-your-own - from oh-so-sweet strawberries in the early days of summer to pumpkins during the chilled days of autumn. The biggest challenge when it comes to berry picking today is deciding where to go. You'll find some of the best berry picking in Muncy, Pennsylvania.
Summer wouldn't be the same without an hour or two spent wandering up and down rows of berries, sampling one or two to make sure they're ripe enough, and filling up our buckets.
You might even find yourself returning to The Green Barn Berry Farm in Muncy a few times, so you can pick your favorites - strawberries, blueberries, red and black raspberries, and pumpkins.
Stop by the website of The Green Barn Berry Farm to find out when pick-your-own typically runs for each fruit.
Before setting off for the farm, pack a container or a bucket. If you stop by on a whim or forget yours, you can purchase a reusable container at the farm.
If you bring your own container, you'll have it weighed before you head into the field. That way, you'll only pay for the weight of the berries you pick.
If it's a hot day, you might want to wear a hat and lather on the sunscreen. You can sample a few of the berries to make sure they're ripe and taste good to you, but the farm discourages "grazing."
As you stroll up and down the rows of berries, fill your buckets, and snap photos of your summer adventure.
Pets are not allowed on the farm.
But the fun doesn't end in the fields. Stop by and say hi to the resident farm animals, including the goats.
Visit the farm market, too, where you can stock up on a variety of goodies.
While berry picking is a summer activity, mark your calendar to stop by for the fall festivities (and absolutely awe-inspiring fall foliage), including picking pumpkins.
