We drove to Washington Farms just outside of Athens. http://www.washingtonfarms.net/ Last year we went to Hard Labor Creek Blueberry Farm. http://sites.google.com/site/hlcblueberries/ I preferred the Hard Labor Creek farm. It was really a family's back yard. The blueberry bushes were huge. The blueberries were huge. They had several varieties of blueberries. The Washington Farm blueberries are just fine and delicious, but they are smaller, only one variety, and the farm is not as charming. Hard Labor is only blueberries. Washington Farms has pumpkins and strawberries and corn maze and other seasonal activities. I have not done those other activities.
Besides just eating the blueberries plain, we freeze them and make blueberry cobbler and blueberry muffins. My girls prefer to eat them frozen. The blueberry cobbler is a recipe my friend, Collyn, just gave me. It is easy and super yummy, especially with vanilla icecream.
