I come from a land out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean where pineapples, mangoes, and papayas grow. Of course, it's not like peaches, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries are unheard of here. You see them in Hawaii, but always in a supermarket produce section, having come from somewhere else.
So for me, to actually get up close and personal with a peach or berry, in season, still on the bush or tree, touch it, and pull it off the tree or bush into a basket to take with you...it's an experience.
On my last trip to Portland two years ago, I went up with a friend of mine - we, along with my friend's daughter, were part of a team doing the Hood to Coast Relay. She took us out to Sauvie Island Farms, right when the peaches were coming into season.
We had a lot of fun that afternoon picking peaches off the trees and blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries off the bush. I could swear that they had every fruit and vegetable imaginable (well, those that grow in temperate climates, that is). The owners were friendly and helpful.
And we had peach cobbler until it came out of our ears during our stay.
We had a lot of fun and I'd definitely come back here given the chance.
