One of our favorite summer adventures is going raspberry picking. Especially when our nephew comes…read moreto visit because we take some of those raspberries and make homemade jam. It's so good! We have visited a couple of different gardens over the years and none of them were overly exciting. Some even had a cover charge. Really a cover charge! I would like a raspberry margarita along with my fresh raspberries if i'm paying a cover charge. So began my Yelpsearch. While there were not a lot of reviews, there was good information which lead me to the website for Sam Kedem Nursery & Garden. After doing some more reading, I felt this was the place. Sam Kedem Nursery & Garden is located in outskirts of Hastings. We actually missed our turn initially and had to go back. As you drive down the street it appears that you are driving into a forest but there is an opening for a vehicle to drive into. Its kind of an enchanted feeling. As we made our way through the trees we noticed some apple trees an then a grassy area for parking. Just up from the parking area is a garden and their shop. It really feels like you are visiting a private nursery and farm. Inside the shop there was a nice man that directed us to the raspberry fields. At the right time of year, they also have strawberry fields. (cue that Beatles song) Off we went to pick our berries. Even though it was a little later in the season, we found an abundance of plump berries. Once back at the shop we also couldn't help ourselves and picked up some eggs and produce. Sam Kedem Nursery & Garden is organic. Personally as long as it is a good product, I don't get to caught up in organic or not. However I will tell you this, we absolutely loved our experience, our raspberries, eggs and produce, and it was all very affordable! We also noticed that they have apple trees. We certainly plan to visit Sam Kedem Nursery and Garden again as we would love to check out their strawberries and apples.
