carnation research farm / nestle training center

We saw the handmade "U-Pick Blueberries" signs on our way to Snoqualmie Falls. While headed home, we stopped to get blueberries for homemade pie.The farm is fairly small. It is row after row of blueberries and a small stand to gather baskets/bags for picking. The host was friendly and explained that a 'boom cannon' would sound every 15 minutes and to not be alarmed; it scares off the birds who want to pick for free. Pricing as of June 2014 was $2 per pound. We were not wanting to make too much homemade pie and purchased just under 4 pounds. As with most u-pick places, they only accept cash.

This absolutely wonderful facility can be rented for weddings and events, and is home to Camp Korey, a Hole in the Wall Camp for kids with life altering diseases, offering a chance for serious fun and quality medical care. They have an open house in spring and a Fall Festival with a corn maze, hay ride, etc that are open to the public.
