Oh, the blackberry! The Farmers Market’s blackberries will spoil you forever when it comes to blackberries. Grocery store pints simply cannot compare to a fresh-off-the-vine blackberry from one of our farm vendors. They are so sweet and bursting with flavor — amazing! I love them with greek yogurt, granola, and just a dab of honey. Or you can try them in pies, cobblers, cakes, salads, or even cocktails, or just eat them straight out of the basket they came in! Kuhn Orchards is having a special — a 12 pint flat of blackberries for $66! Too many for you? Find a neighbor and share! Blackberries are the star of the show at Barrett Elementary School on Saturday, August 7, from 8 a.m. to noon. And don’t forget your pre-orders for Saturday pickup! We’ll see you at the Market!
