Chocolate Covered Strawberry Pie

These No Bake Chocolate Covered Strawberry Mini Pies are a perfect and easy dessert to make! It only takes a bit to prepare and they only need to sit for a few hours.  I found that they do taste so much better the next day (it often gets gobbled up as a breakfast) as the crust flavors have time to blend together.

Coconut Whipped Cream and Blues

I have a huge sweet tooth and I always crave ice cream... I mean, ALWAYS! It could be 10 below freezing out and I'd still want ice cream. So, to curb my cravings (and apparently my addiction), I eat a lot of this.  It's so fast, easy, delicious and you can make enough whipped cream to last you throughout the week!

Blueberry Chia Breakfast Cookies

This is one of my all time favorite cookie recipes.  I often do a chocolate chip coconut cookie but I have been craving blueberries recently. I must be anxious for summer and fresh berries from the farm....  I found my original recipe from The Burlap Bag and their 2 Ingredient Cookie. These have fed me many times on those rushed mornings when I might otherwise forget breakfast... I just can't say enough good things about them and the possibilities are endless with how you can personalize them!

Local Love: Tri-County Farms

This is a little more broad for the Local Love Thursday I will be doing but it is an incredibly important organization to talk about and I feel this is perfect for the first post of many highlighting my favorite places in Oregon.

Tri-County Farms is a Non-Profit Organization that puts out a guide of farms in the Multnomah, Clackamas, and Washington Counties that have u-pick or that sell directly from their farm.  If you haven't yet utilized this guide you should check it out HERE.

Berry Box Gift Cards

Remember the Berry Box Program I talked about a while ago? Check it out HERE if you missed it!  We have had a few requests from customers wanting to purchase the Berry Box program for a friend, but they don't know where they'd be able to pick it up, if they could eat that many berries, and whats most convenient for them... so we have come up with a solution that will hopefully solve all those problems!

What is a CSA?

Each year we add something new, or multiple new things.  Whether it be a new process to make things smoother for our customers, a new variety of berry, a new event, new displays at the farmers markets, we are always growing and adding.  This year we're adding a Vegetable CSA and we couldn't be more excited about it! 

A Tribute... to the Tan Van

The Farmers' Market Season is officially over for Unger Farms.  And I am so terribly sad to announce that life on the farm for the Tan Van is also over.  

Look at this beauty....

Wall's are carpeted, AM radio only, limited power steering at best, and that color, ooooh that color!    This beauty has been on the farm for a good 15+ years.

Blueberries Galore!

Blueberries in November?!?! YES! And they're delicious!  

You can find them at Unger's Farm Store this week, starting today! 

See information below for location and hours. 

Freezing Berries Tutorial

Did you miss out on freezing berries?  You're in luck! We still have some!!
Check out this tutorial on the best way to freeze berries...

Freezing Berries on cookie sheets

*this process works well with all types of berries, not just the blueberries pictured here.

I love freezing berries this way, blueberries especially because they keep their shape a little better and it's easy to take a handful (or two) out of a large bag for a quick snack.

Blueberry Pickles Recipe

Blueberry Pickles??? Yup, that's right... I haven't personally tried this one yet but it sounds absolutely delicious.  And I think our Ochlockonee or Liberty Blueberries would be a perfect fit. They have just the right amount of tang and sweetness.

Here is the recipe: submitted to us by Marge Welch.

Blueberry Pickles

Ingredients:
2 quarts Blueberries
2 cups sugar (white, brown, or mixed)
1 1/2 cup vinegar (red wine, apple cider, rice wine, or mixed)

1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

Use up those Frozen Berries!

Hello!  We hope everyone is having a wonderful winter. What a mild one it has been!  

Here is a recipe from our website... it's a great one to use up those frozen berries, unless you're like me and they only last one month into winter. :)
