One of the joys of living in the country is the ability to go out and pick your own berries...not just on a farm like Becker's, but also out in the woods.
While walking around the spread this weekend I found countless wild raspberries, cherries, and strawberries, all ripe and tasty.
Make it a point to get out to a woodlot or hedgerow this week to collect these fruits while you can. If you've never had a wild strawberry, you're missing out. Although they are extremely small (no bigger than the fingernail on your pinky) their flavor is intense and far rivals that of any of the "domesticated" strawberries.
For those of you who like delicious blackcaps (which always go well on top of vanilla ice cream), they are still a good 5 days away from being ripe.
Mulberry's look like they'll be ready by July 10th.
Enjoy Gasport's natural bounty!
