Saskatoon Farm Picking & Giant Boulders & Black Diamond Ice Cream

Who truly loves Saskatoon Farm? 🌻🌻 🌸Someone who goes there two days in a row – though this should be the last time this year. 1️⃣ Today was the second day of sour cherry picking. 🦁 There were basically no big cherries left.πŸ¦€πŸ¦€ Sour cherries are the new trending "sports fruit" and great for preventing gout.😁😁 When fully ripe, they aren't too sour. πŸ™‰πŸ™‰ 😁😁The farm doesn't have a large area planted with sour cherries. πŸ™ˆSaskatoon berries are a bit sweeter and grown on a much larger scale; if you go deeper into the orchard and look up and around, there are still quite a few big ones. πŸ’•πŸ’• But I'm not really into berries, and I prefer cherries that are big and sweet. πŸ‘€πŸ‘€ πŸ‘£So for cherries priced at $7.5 a pound, I only picked $4.5 worth – you can imagine how little that was.πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ But once I got home, I was pretty glad there wasn't much left to pick, because they were really sour and I had no desire to eat them...β€οΈπŸ‘„ It's a good idea to buy fresh vegetables at the farm. πŸ€₯ Everyone was lining up to check out, and the prices are great.😻😻 I bought a farm pizza and scone for snacks. The pizza was not greasy at all and tasted good – the Hawaiian one was $18.🍊🍊 2️⃣ Drive 20km west and you'll reach the Okotoks Erratics, those giant boulders. πŸ₯©πŸ₯© πŸ‘€πŸ‘€It's incredible: they floated here on ice over 10,000 years ago, from the recently burned Jasper National Park area!πŸ‘‚ 3️⃣ Highly recommend driving another 10 minutes or so to Black Diamond town!πŸ’• Their ice cream shop claims to have 24 flavors – you might not get all of them, but none of the ones I tried disappointed: pistachio almond, rum raisin, French vanilla bean, and honey walnut. 🀢🀢 Sweet but not cloying, each flavor is rich and creamy without being heavy.πŸš’πŸš’ 🏘️🏘️Absolutely delicious, and affordable too! One scoop is $4, two scoops are only $6, and you can mix flavors. Another fulfilling day! First-time picking checked βœ…! Nostalgic small-town vibes checked βœ…!πŸ›–πŸ›– #OneDayTrip #Outdoors
