Heidi’s Raspberry Farm

Heidi’s Raspberry Jam is famous in these parts, but I didn’t know that there is an organic Pick-​Your-​Own field in Los Lunas! This field is only open from August to October, Saturday and Sunday from 9 – 2 — so check their Facebook page to make sure they are open before you go, and wear a hat — there is no shade, though water is available. There is a table with lovely employees who will provide you with paper pints, (it’s $ 5 a pint), and they will share tips to selecting the perfect raspberries. They also sell jams if you like. Then off you go into the fields to harvest your berries! It took my kids and I over an hour to fill our pints, and we may or may not have sampled a few… but since they are organic you can pick and eat! The raspberry fields are surrounded with corn fields, so it is as picturesque as can be. Overall we had a wonderful morning and I look forward to our new tradition of picking raspberries.
