Sooooo much better than farmed. Just have to watch for black bears because they agree. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-been-berry-picking#post-2229389 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 19:34:12 +0000 regberadaisy 2229389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: haha I just don't know enough and worry what if I pick something I *thought* was wild berries but they were something poisonous?!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-been-berry-picking#post-2228889 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 12:39:40 +0000 mrsrain 2228889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live just down the road from a pick-your-own raspberry orchard! I LOVE raspberries, so this is like a dream come true. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-been-berry-picking#post-2228850 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 12:20:47 +0000 sarac 2228850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live in the Willamette valley where black berries are a vicious pest, so we pick a lot of them in the wild. We took a long bike ride around our neighborhood last night and my daughter must have eaten a pint of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-been-berry-picking#post-2228805 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 11:55:12 +0000 mediagirl 2228805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: a neighbor said the same thing to me and she grew up in the city, too. :) I grew up int he country, I don't even wash the wild berries before eating them. haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-been-berry-picking#post-2228801 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 11:54:19 +0000 Mae 2228801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not as an adult/as a paid activity. I grew up with a field on our property that had strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries though. So it was just how we got our berries when I was a kid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-been-berry-picking#post-2228719 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 10:57:07 +0000 daniellemybelle 2228719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went strawberry picking and LO LOVED it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-been-berry-picking#post-2228680 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 10:34:01 +0000 BSB 2228680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom had strawberries growing for a couple years when I was a kid and I've gone to local orchards to get cherries and strawberries (also, as a kid). It's been a long time since I've been to one. I looked into blueberry and cherry picking last year, but never went. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-been-berry-picking#post-2228662 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 10:22:44 +0000 regberadaisy 2228662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went strawberry picking a few weekends ago. I'm always afraid of picking wild berries! I don't know...city kid in me? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-been-berry-picking#post-2228658 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 10:21:24 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2228658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never been to a place specifically to pick berries, but there are a ton of wild blackberry plants along the greenbelt trails in my neighborhood. I'll pick some from there when I go on walks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-been-berry-picking#post-2228655 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 10:19:20 +0000 winter_wonder 2228655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!

Raspberries should be ripe this coming weekend, so we'll probably go then too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-been-berry-picking#post-2228601 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 09:52:20 +0000 littlebug 2228601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took D to an orchard just yesterday for cherry picking. It was our first time going berry picking. He liked it, except the ground was wet from rain overnight and he didn't appreciate walking through wet grass, ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-been-berry-picking#post-2228570 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 09:35:46 +0000 bunnylove08 2228570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went strawberry. snap pea and cherry picking at a farm a couple of weeks ago. DD loved it. She loves apple picking too. We're waiting for peaches to be ready. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-been-berry-picking#post-2228567 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 09:33:02 +0000 jh524 2228567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: wild blackberries<br /> YUM!!!!!!! :happy: We have Huckleberries where we live and they're about a month early but apparently it's time for us to go pickin!!

Nothing can beat those!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-been-berry-picking#post-2228566 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 09:32:54 +0000 tinyperson 2228566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, we went strawberry picking last week at a farm 5 minutes from my parent's place - My 2.5 yo loved it! Last summer we picked strawberries (she wasn't as in to it), and DH and I picked raspberries (no kids allowed for that one). It's fun, and the berries taste so much better than the ones in store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-been-berry-picking#post-2228547 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 09:21:20 +0000 mediagirl 2228547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have picked strawberries and blackberries. We found a huuuuge wild blackberry bush along a main road that we picked a ton of blackberries off of this weekend. My husband stayed in the car while we hopped out and picked as many as we could. :) </p> [attach=251/15/nr4fvk.600x337.IMG_1680.JPG]
