We had a great time at Ham's Orchard in Terrell, Texas. I have seen the billboards, up and down Highway 80 from Mesquite to Terrell through out the years and have always planned to go. I can not believe it has taken me this long to make it out there. We love to pick fruit, we try to make it to at least one farm before the summer gets too hot.
My mom and niece rave about their peach ice cream. I always thought they were famous for ham sandwiches just because I see the word "HAM" and that is what comes to mind. Well, we did not have a ham sandwich but we picked a lot of blackberries and brought home some jams and peaches, as well. Oh!!! I also brought home some jalapeno stuffed olives for Daddy.
Maggie was a little stand off, at first, because there were creepy crawly BUGS!!! She got over her little fear and became a master blackberry picker.
Mimi and Maggie enjoyed some delicious peach and vanilla swirled ice cream. Unfortunately, they did not have anything sugar free. That is one suggestion I would make, offer some sugar free ice cream!!! Oh well, I had plenty of blackberries to snack on. Blackberries are low on the glycemic index so they are one of a few fruits you can have SPARINGLY on a low carb and keto way of eating.
The day started off hot and just got hotter as we worked the blackberry fields. We found a little relief in Ham's covered pavilion where they offer ample seating when you are ready for a snack or meal. A cool breeze blows thru to help you cool down on a hot Texas summer day. Patrons are welcome to bring a picnic or they sell BBQ to enjoy.
We did not have lunch there, but it smelled heavenly. Maggie likes to take her sweet time eating yummy treats but this delectable delight was soon to be a milky mess.
Check out the Ham's Orchard website for all the info and see what they have to offer.
