🇨🇦 Blueberry Picking 🫐 | Go Big or Go Home! 😎
Visited the super popular Ferme Proulx Farm—home to MASSIVE blueberries AND raspberries! Baskets: $1.75 (or bring your own) We opted for 2L: $17 (perfect for two people) 📝 Key Takeaways: 1️⃣ GO EARLY—opens at 7am! Latecomers get the leftovers (though the fields are huge). 2️⃣ Left entrance = blueberries 🫐 | Right path (walk further) = raspberries Pro tip: Pick raspberries last (they bruise easily!) Best raspberries: Low bushes on the far right 3️⃣ How to spot the BEST blueberries? 🔹 Blue-black ones = sweetest 🔹 Lonely, plump giants = crisp + sugary 🔹 Bees hovering? That’s the jackpot! ‼️ GOLDEN RULE: Head to the RIGHT-most rows, then go all the way to the back—that’s where the biggest, juiciest berries hide! (Most people start picking near the entrance… mistake! We learned the hard way after sampling tart "grape-like" clusters upfront 😅) 👉 Verdict: LOVED this farm! But just saw a post about Canaan Blueberries (2L for $10, free baskets + equally huge berries)—bookmarking for next year! 📍 Ferme Proulx Farm #CanadaLife #BerryPicking #BlueberryHaul #FarmFresh #OttawaFarms #RaspberryLove #PickYourOwn #SummerHarvest #FoodieFinds #OttawaOutdoors
