Juicy blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries are some of the tastiest treats of the summer, and they’re especially delicious when they’re fresh-picked. There’s a wonderful orchard right here in Kentucky that allows you to pick your own berries… and they’ll be ripe and ready to go all summer long.
For a fun adventure in the fresh air, visit Reed Valley Orchard to pick your own blueberries and raspberries. Dana & Trudie Reed planted their first trees back in 1988, and the orchard has been thriving ever since.
