If you lived only by weather forecasts you would miss a lot of good living! Well, watching the blueberry fields is little easier to go by. The crop is ripening well and there are some really nice fruit. It is time to get to some serious picking.

The blueberry field will be open Friday 8 to 10 am and Saturday 8 to 11 am. Next week we should have lots of blues going into the 4th of July weekend. Look for several days of picking.

We have a lot of plums, squash, zucchini, potatoes and getting some beans. Tomatoes are not far away. Cantaloupes and watermelons are coming. We have some good corn right now.

Good times make great memories - Indigo Farms

Good times make great memories is something we have longed believed and is the background of our Fall event days. Just think of your favorite memories! They take you back to something special; people, times, occasions usually triggered by smells, sights, sounds, feelings or tastes.

Food is one of those things that help make good memories. It has even been called the bridge to understanding different cultures. That is just one aspect of food. Get people together and something is sure to cook! It is an ingredient for fun. I like to think of food as fun.

The summer lends itself to get together. Whether it is friends, neighbors, visiting friends or family time. For the young families or the grandparents with grandkids you treasure the time knowing children grow so quickly.

This summer , this Fourth of July you may want to come up with some fun ways to share a tasteful memory with those you care about. Here are a couple of ideas.

Red, white and blue potato salad. We have the potatoes plus more colors and flavors. Do a little research and teach your kids such interesting things about how most people in the world do not eat white potatoes. They prefer colored fleshed potatoes. Learn about the nutritional differences.

A fruit salad in a watermelon rind! cut watermelon rinds in fancy bowl shapes and scope out the flesh in little balls. Mix them with cantaloupe balls and honey dew balls topped with blueberries and maybe a few backberries.

Experiment with making watermelon coolers or making homemade peach ice cream. We sometimes have ice cream peaches for sale ( you may want to check that out).

Blueberry muffins, breakfast with blueberry pancakes. Frozen blueberries eaten as a single cold blueberry treat. It often is the doing and making together that makes it such a special memory.

My wife and I had a friend years ago who loved to make his own concoctions. We think of him and his whimiscal creations and realize he was making his own yogurt before we had ever heard of yogurt.

Perhaps you have ideas you would want to share?

Regardless be BOLD. GO FOR A GREAT MEMORY!
