Pro Picking Tips
Look for dark blue berries – they're the ripest and sweetest
Use a gentle rolling motion to remove berries from the bush
Most farms encourage taste-testing, so sample away!
Don't forget to leave some for the birds (and other pickers!)
Making It Social
One of my favorite things about berry picking is how it brings people together. Whether you're planning a solo mindful morning or organizing a group adventure, there's something magical about this simple summer activity.
