Berry Picking Daytrip!

All three of the following places are located between Gainesville and Sherman.

Pick-your-own Blueberries/Blackberries. They open at 9 a.m. They will tell you to "eat all you want, pick the rest..." Take a cooler to bring home your berries in style! After you pick the berries, the staff at the Berry Patch will run your berries through a machine that will vacuum and shake away stems and such. Bring the berries home and freeze in a single layer, unwashed. http://www.txberry.com/

Pick-your-own Lavender. http://www.lavenderridgefarms.com/ They have a great gift shop, too.

Peaches http://www.redriverpeachorchard.com/

If you go through Gainesville, stop into the Fried Pie place off The Square. They are good. The reviews on this website makes it sound as if they are perhaps the best thing ever. They aren't THAT good. They are worth making a stop. http://tinyurl.com/muexmz

While you are there, there are lots of other interesting shops in the historic downtown. http://www.shophistoricgainesville.com/
