Everything is boysenberry purple at Knott’s

by Mark Eades
I knew boysenberries grew big, but not this large.

Knott’s Berry Farm was calling it Berry Bloom as it held a Boysenberry Festival.

Knott's Berry Farm celebrates everything berry much during its Boysenberry Festival.

As part of the festival, there were special boysenberry flavored foods including chicken wings coated with a boysenberry sauce, turkey legs with a boysenberry sauce, fried boysenberry ice cream and more.

Souvenirs were also boysenberry themed.

The park also recreated Walter and Cordelia Knott’s original boysenberry stand, and had boysenberry vine seedlings for sale.

There was also a wine tasting held in the Wilderness Dance Hall.

For the record I tried six of the wines. I also tried the chicken wings, the waffles with fruit, the fruit and cheese plate, the turkey leg with boysenberry sauce, the chocolate covered bacon, and for dessert I had two slices of boysenberry pie, a boysenberry tart, a boysenberry cupcake and washed it all down with water and a hot tea.
