Blueberry picking

We made our annual blueberry-picking trip last Saturday. Every year I consider changing it up by choosing a different farm, but every year we decide to go with what works. I suppose there is something to family traditions and it's fun to know the kids are old enough to remember and look forward to it. It is only once a year, after all.
We started out at The Blueberry Patch in Sawyer, Michigan, and picked for about 3 hours (I think that included trips to the restroom, diaper changes, sunscreen application, and some snack eating). After paying for our (approx.) 15 lbs. of berries, we drove a mile over to Warren Dunes State Park for a picnic lunch. My husband and the kids made the trek up the giant sand dune while I hung with the baby and our guest on the beach. We enjoyed the sand and the warmish lake water until the sun set. Almost exactly like we did last year.
People have asked me how we choose farms for picking and I predictably look here every time we pick something (I've used it for picking in IL, WI, MI, and TX). Checking your local paper archives may be good, too.

Nice post. We just acquired a 10 pound box ourselves. Through our local CoOp food connection which is not nearly as cool as going out and getting them yourself!

We had blueberry pancakes for breaky this morning ... what are your favourite blueberry recipes? We have a lot left!
