Green Bluff

September was full of local events and exploring.  We headed to Washington one Saturday morning to check out Green Bluffs.  This area is filled with local farms where you can purchase freshly picked produce or if you prefer, pick it yourself.

We stopped at one of the largest farms, Harvest House.  A bit more elaborate than most, they had an awesome store which included a restaurant and wine shop.

We listened to live music as we sampled the "made from scratch" pumpkin donuts and apple pie.  A little wine tasting was also in order.  Many of the wines were from local Washington state wineries.  I really enjoyed Huck, the huckleberry flavored wine, probably because of my new appreciation for the huckleberry!

The day we were there, they were offering samples of famous Washington apples and peaches. It was interesting to taste the difference in the available varieties. All the produce looked amazing. We loaded up on fruit and headed home with one stop at The Rocket Bakery for tea and super yummy giant cookies!
