BadNick, we actually DO live just about next door to the orchard (in this case, a blueberry patch). We've been back 5 or 6 times so far this year.
This has been an outstanding year for blueberries in upstate NY. It's one of the highest quality crops I can remember, and plenty of 'em. We have picked well over 30 pounds so far, at least 15 of which are safe in the freezer for us to use over the coming year. Forunately the price is right too, because blueberries were crazy expensive in the store this year.
There used to be a strawberry patch down the hill too but "progress" has led to its demise.
