The word for this week? Blueberries.
The local blueberry crop is in! It looks like it will be a good season, according to Solebury Orchards—which opens tomorrow, July 3—and Terhune Orchards in Princeton. This weekend’s weather is supposed to be a little cooler and clear, so go pick some blueberries.
Head on over to Terhune Orchards this weekend for their annual Blueberry Bash. You can hang out and listen to some country music, or enjoy some of the many blueberry treats, like Blueberry-Apple Crisp, Blueberry drinks, Blueberry Muffins, Blueberry Cobbler, Blueberry jam, and Blueberry Salsa. There will be pony rides, music, children’s games in the barnyard and entertainment for the kids, or you can take a tractor-drawn wagon ride through the orchards. Proud of your blueberry pie? There will also be the Blueberry Bash Bake-Off with official judging and prizes. And, of course, you can pick blueberries. Admission is $5, children under three are free. For more information, please see their website.
The newest brewery in the county, Bucks County Brewery, is hosting Pork, Beer & Music, Oh My! on Saturday at their brewery (and right next to Bucks County’s newest distillery, Hewn Spirits). Sum Pig Truck will be supplying the pork, you know where the beer is coming from, and John Creidler of the Mango Men Band will be providing the music. The event begins at 5 pm at the brewery on 31 Appletree Lane in Pipersville. See their Facebook page for more info.
