Happy Summer!

Sorry I haven't been updating this frequently. We have been so busy with managing the blueberry crop and making sure they reach their best best potential! My cousin Emily and my grandma came back down from Kansas City again to help. Looks like they just can't resist us!

June 21st was the first official of summer!! And not to mention the longest day of the year! Summer is nice, don't you agree? What are your plans for vacation? Or maybe just a staycation?

We thank all of the Joplin Outlaw Baseball guys for coming out here and helping out!

Well, this is a short one, so I will try to update this more often! Yay!

Stop by The Berry Shed!

Good Mood Food

Hey there, Pickers! Good Morning to yeh! I hope everyone's Father's Day was exponential. We had a very nice weekened and we thank you for braving the heat to come out and pick some blueberries. It is super windy out right now. But dont let that stop you! (I heard that wind blown hair is in style now!)
I just got attacked by a killer bumblebee. Not really, but I thought it would raise the viewing rates. :P

We already have a bucket full of freshly picked blueberries this morning!

Hello new employeessssss! My cousin Emily and her friend Alex came all the way from Kansas City, Missouri just to help us out! I might have told them we would go swimming as well.... A little bribery doesn't hurt. :)

We saw the new movie, "Just Go With It" last night, and it was actually pretty cute. Jennifer Aniston is so genuine and I love Adam Sandler's humor. Very nice. I would recommend it most definitely.

So on Friday or Saturday (I can't remember which) I picked our record breaking blueberry! Yayayayyay! Here is a picture ^^^      ***Size may appear smaller than in real life***


We enjoy your company, so come on out to The Berry Shed on Hwy 43 in Webb City , Missouri!


Thanks Y'all

Fireflies

Hellllllllllooooooo people! TGIF! Yay! Isn't it just a great feeling to know that the weekend is at your fingertips? I hope all of you out there have a grand 'ol time with your dad on Father's Day on Sunday. They totally deserve a break! And so do you! Stop by The Berry Shed this weekend. We are definitely going to be open! If you think it will rain, I will do the rain dance and it won't rain. Problem solved!

Thanks to all the moms and their little ones yesterday who came by and picked LOADS of blueberries! We love little kids and love to see them have a great time. The weather treated us very well yesterday. Let's just say it was AWESOME. Thanks to Jenni Sexton for being the great mastermind to that cool play-date! As for Liam, (the little guy in the picture above) try to keep your pants on next time, okay? :)

Fireflies! It is Summer and they are all around! I have had my fair share of running around like a crazy person in the field shouting, "I got one, I got o- awh man, it flew away!" with my friend Jesse Kinzer. He comes back from camp today! So exciting. But anyways... it wasn't the actual insect I wanted to mention. Have you ever heard of the singer/beat-boxer Andy Grammer? As he has the same awesome name as my dog, he writes/sings/plays really neat songs such as "Fireflies,""Keep Your Head Up," and "Fine By Me." His songs are the kind that you want to listen to on a nice summer day with the windows down in your car. His voice is very clean and pure, and just very nice. :) If you want to check him out, he has a free song on iTunes called "Miss Me." He just released his album a few days ago and I am hooked. Andy Grammer click here!

As for The Berry Shed and its customers, you probably want to know who is writing this blog. Hey, my name is Hannah and you will see me if you come to pick some berries. I am going to be a senior in high school and I am stoked. I like talking to people, so don't be afraid to come on down to the farm and talk up a storm! :) Well, here is the Sunrise of the Day!   ...the only sunrise of the day... Enjoy the weekend, folks! I will be back on Monday!

The Greatest Memory

Welcome to The Berry Shed once again! The blueberries are quite blue without you here to pick them.... Okay, that was kind of cheesy. But come down here and grab a bucket and get going! The sun isn't exactly feeling bright today, so the cloud cover is a benefit to all of us. Ever had sunburnt lips? Yeah, not fun. The little breeze that we have makes the day a little chilly so far, so maybe you want to bring a jacket if you get cold very easily like me. Sir Andy would like a little company. His dog days are getting old. I don't know about you, but I am looking forward to the weekend! Hanging out with friends is so much fun! Ecspecially when you can pick some berries together. It brings out the funny in people, it really does!

As for the post titles, I like to get all fancy and such. So... the greatest memory you have ever had. What is it? Could it be your high school dance? Could it be when you went on a vacation? Could it be that one time when you were picking blueberries with your family? Whatever it is, I hope it's a good one.

As I hope you know, The Berry Shed is north of Joplin, Missouri. Drive south for about 15 minutes, and Hwy 43 turns into Main Street of Joplin. This town, the 4th largest city in Missouri, as to correct all of those television commentators saying it was a "tiny farming town," was recently hit by a tornado. We have all heard the news. But I want to tell you about the business part of it. Many businesses were taken away, and Joplin needs to rebuild. But they need to do it in a smart way. Buy products locally. Invest in small businesses that are just now developing. Support your town. Build green.  We, the people of Joplin, cannot grow and live in a town if the town isn't economically stable. It's easy!

That was just a little tid-bit to think about as you drive to and from work today. :)

Oh! And here is today's sunrise! You know, just in case you were sleeping and you couldn't see it. :)

Walking In Memphis

Hey guys! We opened up bright and early yesterday morning at 6:30! Take a look at this magificent sight!


As for the weather, what would Southwest Missouri be without a little bit of wind, eh?
The Berry Shed would also like to send our thoughts out to the printing building on 4th and Murphy Blvd. that caught fire early this morning. We sure hope everyone was safe!
      
And if you are wondering about the title I made for this post, to be honest, I couldn't think of one! So it just happened to be the song that was playing on the radio. As I am typing, the sun is peeking through the morning clouds and the cars on the highway are zipping to work. Hey! On your way home from work, why dont't you grab some friends and family to come pick fresh blueberries? We have so many, no one will go home empty handed. :) If you don't want to pick, we have cold, already picked bags by the pound.

Shoutout to Meghan Ness who just flew overseas to Scotland yesterday! We wish her a safe and steady trip!
        If the forecasted weather starts to get ugly today, The Berry Shed will close up shop, but a few sprinkles won't hurt us!

I will be posting daily pictures of sunrises. Here is today's picture post.

It's A Warm One!

Hey Y'all! The Berry Shed had it's first opening this weeked. The berries were (and still are) nice and super plump! Since Summer came at us quick this year, we are selling ice cold bottles of water for $1.00. We definitely don't want you dehydrated! We also just put together bags of blueberries by the pound. So if you are in a rush, just come by and purchase a bag of crisp blues. Make sure you get out here so we can see your pretty face!
