We’re honored to be part of the Knott’s Berry Farm #BerryBloggers Ambassador program. This blog post is part of our partnership with Knott’s Berry Farm.
It’s a berry, berry good time of year! It’s time for Knotts Boysenberry Festival 2019 at Knott’s Berry Farm! Time for boysenberry deliciousness, both sweet and savory, March 29 through April 28, 2019.
The annual Boysenberry Festival isn’t only about food. It’s also time for official seasonal Boysenberry Festival merchandise, special entertainment, and a fabulous craft fair.
But let’s do talk about the food! Along with fellow Berry Bloggers, we had the pleasure of tasting new selections for the 2019 Boysenberry Festival. That was in addition to favorites from the past. Just call us (me, along with Pattie – Living Mi Vida Loca, Cathryn – Cleverly Cathryn and Caryn – Rockin Mama) official taste testers! This year’s festival gets a ribbon of approval from us!
Let’s get right to it.
