Types of Berries

When you can get a freshly picked berry it is absolutely bliss. In my travels around the country I have been able to pick many different types of berries myself:

• Strawberries in Michigan and Wisconsin
• Blueberries in Michigan and New York
• Wild blueberries in Maine
• Wild black raspberries in Michigan, Illinois, New York
• Gooseberries in Michigan and New York
• Saskatoon berries in Wisconsin and Michigan

I'm still hoping to go huckleberry picking in the northwest someday!

I also hunt down the different varieties of berries in the grocery store. I looked several years to track down white strawberries and pink lemonade blueberries. One year I heard about Tropical Bliss strawberries on Instagram and immediately headed to the nearest store to seek them out. I had the blog post up the next day!
