U-Pick Fall Raspberries ~ Yellow, Amber and Reds

Raspberry honey made from bees on the farm.

Bumper sticker: "Preserve farmland - pick more raspberries"

[edit] 2008 season

$3 / quart

You get a milk jug on a string to tie around your waist, so you can use both hands for picking. Walk past the 2 caged, barking German Shepherds to get to the berry fields, which are marked by white signs. You pick until you're happy (or the jug is half-full, at which point the bottom berries start to juice) and walk back to the stand. When the jug is half full you've got about 2 quarts.

Use the berries within 2 days or they might start to mold, says the owner. Or freeze them -- in a bag or individually on a baking sheet if you don't want them to stick together.

• Buckle for Breakfast, Four Obsessions, Kate Remen-Wait, August 2006

It is berry season in our area now with blueberries, blackberries and raspberries all available. Yesterday we went out to Makielski Berry Farm and picked two quarts of blackberries and two quarts of raspberries. The thorns on the blackberries were ferocious--my legs look like I've been playing with a whole litter of needle clawed kittens (the raspberries were much more kid-friendly picking). But I can handle a little pain for berries!
