Berry-Picking at Russell Orchards in Ipswich, MA in the North Shore of Boston


One of my Boston "staycation" events was going berry picking at Russell Orchards farm in the North Shore, with my mom, my sister-in-law and my nephews. Coming up for fall, they also have apple picking and hayrides. Picking your own berries is really really fun, and kind of meditatively relaxing.

I bought some raspberry wine and their own honey, as well as blueberries and raspberries. Everything was delicious. as well as the ice cream. Head on up if you're looking for something outdoorsy to do this fall!
