We were returning to Seattle after completing our vacation in beautiful Cascadian loop, we came across this little shop near Rockport. "Anyone up for blueberries", my husband asked. Suddenly the sign, "Cascadian Farm" caught my attention. Is that really the same brand that I generally buy from our local grocery store, I quizzed myself!
The girls who were serving a long line of customers confirmed my doubts with an exciting 'Yes'. Indeed, it was the original Cascadian Farm! Nestled in a lovely location between mountains and near Skagit river, there were the bushes of blueberries. With a very pleasant weather, many were picnicking as well. Wish we had more time to enjoy this but we had to hurry back to Seattle. We bought a pint of blueberries, a coffee for myself and my husband got a scoop of blueberry ice-cream. Needless to say, everything was out of the world. We regretted for not buying more blueberries as we finished before even we reached our hotel. The girls were very friendly and telling excitedly the story of their farm. My curiosity went up when I heard her telling that this was bought by General Mills in 2000!
