Picking Blueberries at Echo Springs

"The country-side around Canton, Athens, and Tyler, Texas continues to be a great place to visit and explore. Pictured above, our son Austin, and Nancy enjoy an opportunity to pick fresh blueberries at nearby blueberry farms in early summer. We wash them, place small quantities in bags for freezing, and then use them throughout the year."
