Farmers Market Trip

Raspberry, blue berry, and strawberry jams.

Jams are good to eat because they are natural and jams from farmers markets are made by a small farm and not mass produced so its better quality than say a “Smuckers” brand of jam.

At the farmers market me and the fellas were looking around. We found this nice little jam table filled with jams from grape to raspberry, they even had some honey. The name of the little company is Berkshire Berries. The owners David and Mary graves are from Becket, Massachusetts. They get there honey from hives all around the city on roof top gardens.

You grow the berries on a farm or a huge plantation. Then you have to pick them and clean them. After cleaning the berries put them in a bucket and start to mash them up after mashing up the berries you add ¼ of water for every to cups of berries. Then add in your secret concoctions or anything else to spice up your jam.

P.S. shawn, joey, mark and I went to the rail jam this night and it was pretty cool. it was the big scaffolding that was being bulit.
