Fieldtrip 101: Temecula Berry Co.

I've been to a few U-Pick farms and Temecula Berry Co. is by far one of my favorites! We live an hour away and make the drive every year. The farm is beautiful and the staff is amazing! They truly go the extra mile to make your experience a good one!

When you arrive, they will give you directions and tips for getting the best berries. If you are a returning customer, you can just grab a bucket and start picking!

In addition to the berry picking, there is a hen house for the kids to look in on their resident chickens(they feature chicken shows every afternoon at 3pm and farm fresh eggs Mon. & Thur. at 4pm). There are hay bales and a tractor for the kids to climb on, too.

If you're looking for something more than fresh blueberries, they sell Raw Honey that is simply amazing! I'm not even a fan of honey and I bought some! Monday mornings (around 9:30am) they have fresh blueberry bread from Great Harvest Bread Company.

They have great family events every week. Tuesdays at 9:00 and 10:30am, they have "Nana's Story Time". And every Friday night they show a family friendly movie on a huge screen at 8:00pm. What a perfect way to spend a summer evening! This is definitely a must visit place with the family! Stay tuned to see what we make with our berries!
