Cherry Picking Adventure at Tougas Family Farm in Boston 🌾🍒

On a delightful rainy day, I embarked on a charming journey to Tougas Family Farm, celebrating the arrival of this year’s first batch of cherries! The excitement was palpable as I navigated through the lush fields, and I couldn’t help but wonder, could this truly be the first wave of cherries? 🍒

About Tougas Family Farm

Located in the picturesque town of Northborough, the Tougas Family Farm is a well-known hotspot for fruit lovers. This family-owned farm offers a variety of seasonal fruits, and right now, strawberries are in full swing! Visitors can also catch glimpses of blueberries and apples, although they aren’t quite ripe yet. And don’t forget to bring the kids—there are adorable animals to feed!

Cherry Varieties Available 🍒

• Blush: This variety packs the most intense cherry flavor!
• Sweet: Look for the larger, round shapes to get that delightful cherry goodness. The plump, rounded ones are a must—avoid the V-shaped ones!
• Tart: While not the tastiest option, their vibrant red color makes them perfect for jamming!

My Personal Cherry Ranking

After my cherry-picking experience, here’s my personal ranking based on flavor, ease of picking, and shelf life:

1. 🥇 Cherry Flavor: Blush > Sweet > Tart
2. 🥈 Ease of Picking: Sweet > Tart > Blush
3. 🥉 Shelf Life: Sweet ≈ Tart > Blush

(A word of warning: Blush cherries tend to bruise easily! They truly are the “fragile beauties” of the bunch! [smirk])
