Blueberry Hill Farms
Growing up, one of my favorite memories is going to a “u-pick” fruit farm in the summertime. From the hours-long drive out to a small town to the slathering of sunscreen and bug repellent to coming home with barrels of fruit that we’d then eat until my stomach hurt. 😆 It was all part of the experience!
I’ve had it on my bucket list for years now to take the kids to a pick-your-own farm and now that they’re a little older at 4 and 6 years old, I figured now was the perfect opportunity! I had a friend of mine recommend Blueberry Hill Farms and Nursery out in Edom, TX (about 1.5 hours east of Dallas) as they had previously taken their similarly-aged kids and had a blast.

This was my first road trip since having bought my car last December, so it almost like two mini milestones in one! We saw a Kroger just as we got just outside of Dallas and it was so easy to pick up a few snacks as well as fuel up for the trip! From now until June 23 on Thursdays through Sundays, take advantage of double the fuel points when you use your Kroger card to get gas. It’s as easy as just signing in and clicking the button to load the digital coupon to your Kroger card! Love that Kroger is making those summer road trip memories that much more affordable.
A little less than 90 minutes later, we made it to Blueberry Hill Farms and grabbed empty buckets to start picking! We had over 15 rows of blueberry bushes to pick from and while they were just starting to ripen, we found ourselves with a whole bucket-full in no time. The blueberries are safe enough to eat right off the bush and we may have taste tested just a few before they made it into our baskets!

a little early in the blueberry season, but lots of big juicy berries still to pick!
We actually lucked out and had the most beautiful weather — not too had and a slight breeze that made it perfect to be outside! I do recommend bringing hats as it does get sunny as well as closed-toe shoes to protect against a few spikey patches of grass. Mei had an outfit change halfway through as she did get a mosquito bite on her back so I do recommend some bug spray an extra set of clothes for your little ones just in case!

We ended our trip on a sweet note with blueberry soft serve ice cream for everyone! Highly recommend as it was such a unique flavor and absolutely delicious. We had a great time at Blueberry Hill Farms and I have a feeling it’ll be a new summer tradition!
Have you ever been to a U-pick farm? Any road trips planned for the summer?

It might sound silly, but going to any kind of pick-your-own-fruit place is HIGH up on my wish list! It seems like such a sweet, fun day out – plus you get to take home a heap of delicious, fresh fruit! It’s a win-win day out.
Love your dress so much! Also, I love your pictures. I would love to go to Blueberry farm
Wow, glad you had fun! And the matching stripe dresses are cute. Beautiful family!

I love blueberries! A trip to a blueberry farm would be so fun.
Love using my Kroger perks! This looks so much fun I live in Fort Worth! I will have to visit some time 💗
Well these photos are adorable!! Sounds like such a fun day!
This is absolutely fun! I want to do something like this with my kids & fiance.
I love blueberries! Looks like such a fun day with family!
I wish I had a blueberry farm near me!!
This looks like the ultimate family day outing! So much fun. I’ve never been blueberry picking before – but my friend had a bush in her backyard growing up and we used to pop blueberries all summer long as little kids!
The closest I’ve gone to blueberry picking was apple picking in the fall, but this looks like a LOT more fun and more bang for your buck! I am LOVING the dress you’re wearing here!
Aww this is such a cute post! It looks like you all had so much fun!

How cute! I bet that soft serve was amazing! Love all your pics.
I never realized how lucky I was to be mere minutes from plenty of ‘Pick Your Own’ farms. I used to always love going strawberry picking in the summer and apple picking in the fall. Looks like your family had a great time!

oh my gosh! this looks like such a fun time!!! thanks for sharing!
We used to go blueberry picking when I hosted children/teens for our church camp: many hands fill up buckets faster. I enjoy strawberry picking better usually because it is cooler then and faster to fill up the buckets, lol!
