Pick me a blueberry! If you don't have kids or you're not familiar, that's a quote from the wonderful book Jamberry by Bruce Degen.
It's berry season! Well it's been berry season, but strawberries are almost over for the season. But raspberries are in season now and blueberry picking is gaining momentum. Blackberry season will be here before we know it!
So here's where you can pick some tasty berries (here are my favorites):
Berrybogg Farm in Strafford, NH (PYO blueberries and blackberries)
Spiller Farm in Wells, ME (PYO raspberries and blueberries)
For lots more PYO farms all around NH and beyond, be sure to check out Pick Your Own or Seacoast Harvest (NH and ME specific).
Berries are so easy to freeze and can be canned simply as well (I'm still eating last years frozen blackberries and blueberries)! I have found great guides from the Pick Your Own site: How to Freeze Berries How to Can Homemade Jam
