Farm life always seems so idyllic and relaxing, and while we know it's also incredibly hard work, there's something about a day on the farm that feels good for the soul. Despite living in a metro city, the Cincinnati area is actually surrounded by many rural destinations where you can experience all of the wonderful aspects of a farm, and often times without any work at all (although we’re sure they'd take the help).
We're in the midst of berry season, and there's nothing better than a sweet berry plucked right from the bush. Blooms & Berries Farm Market in Loveland is a wonderful destination for U-Pick berries and you'll want to take the whole family on a day trip to this pick-your-own berry farm near Cincinnati.
Blooms & Berries is a family-owned farm in Loveland, easily accessible for everyone in the Cincinnati area. It's far enough away from it all to give you an authentic farm experience, yet it's close enough to drive to multiple times in a year.
And you'll want to plan more than one trip, as the farm offers a number of events throughout the year. Fall on the Farm is a popular attraction in autumn, and from April through October, you'll find beautiful flowers, fresh produce, fun activities, and more.
One of the most anticipated events of the year is U-Pick Berry season. Preparations for the strawberry and blueberry fields begin months before late spring and summer, when these ripe berries will be ready to pick.
The photo below shows a check-up on the strawberries that took place this past February. As of then, things were looking promising for a successful season, but weather and other factors do play a big role in determining how fruitful the harvesting season will be.
Due to the popularity of berry picking, Blooms & Berries has refined their system to ensure as many people as possible can have an opportunity to visit without damaging the crop and, of course, the farm itself.
The best way to keep up-to-date on if and when berry picking will take place is to follow along on Facebook (linked below) and sign up for the farm's newsletter.
Blooms & Berries will share every detail about how you can participate, so be sure to follow along for those updates.
While you're visiting the farm, be sure to check out the Market Barn, which often sells a variety of food and gifts. Once produce is harvested, fresh items will also be added.
And, as its name suggests, Blooms & Berries is also a great place to stock up on flowers for your yard and garden. Make plans to visit for some berry picking, choose a few colorful blooms, and make this farm near Cincinnati a new favorite destination for the whole family.
