Looking for something fun to do with the kids? Spencers Farm located at 7177 E. 161st. Street in Noblesville has blueberries and blackberries ready to be picked. It is a great way to spend the day with the children and teach them about eating healthy. If you plan to go here are some tips for your day:
-Pack for a day trip - I always bring snacks, hand towels or disposable wipes and plenty of liquids to drink. Spencers has a great picnic area if you want to make a day of it.
-Bring containers for picking and for carrying the fruit home (smaller containers are better for children's smaller hands), Spencers will provide them for a fee, but the kids love having their own basket from home.
-Dress in old clothes and worn athletic shoes; you want to be comfortable and not worried about staining or tearing your clothes! My kids always come home covered in berry juice.
-Wide-brimmed hats help protect you from the summer sun; and in the Fall, extra layers keep you warm. Don't forget sunscreen for the back of your neck and exposed skin.
