Spice Up Your Fall Picnic

The crisp Fall air, the warm earth tones that fill the trees and the sound of fallen leaves crunching underneath your feet – Fall is a beautiful time to get outside and admire nature. A picnic is a perfect opportunity to take advantage of the cooler weather Autumn welcomes in. Whether you’re heading to a tailgate or gathering around a bonfire, enjoy a few Blackberry Farm-inspired picnic ideas this season.

You can’t go wrong with a great cheese and charcuterie board! A staple on cheeseboards, and in both restaurants on property, Blackberry’s Brebis is a soft sheep’s milk cheese that is as versatile as it is delicious. Pair it with some sliced finocchiona or sopressata for a mix of flavor. Don't forget to add your favorite pickle to the bite!

Jams and preserves are a wonderful way to add a touch of needed sweet or savory to your picnic basket. Whether you’re making a simple peanut butter and jelly sandwich or creating a spread, you can easily experiment with different combinations and flavors. Combining our Smoked Onion Jam with Brebis cheese creates a whipped, airy consistency that is the perfect texture for an easy spread for sandwiches or a delicious dip for vegetables.

No picnic spread is complete without a base, like bread or crackers to anchor your bites on. To add some extra Fall flavor to your picnic this season, try our Sweet Potato Dinner Rolls. These savory rolls can be enjoyed simply with butter or used to create your favorite sandwiches, perfectly sized for a picnic basket.

To add color and crunch to your picnic, pack your favorite fresh vegetables or go-to salad with Blackberry’s Buttermilk Dressing on the side. Use it for dipping your crudité or top your greens to round out your veggies with fresh Farm flavor.

No matter what snacks you decide to pack, fill up your basket, grab your group, and head outdoors to accept the invitation of Fall fun and flavor.
