Tips for Blackberry Picking

  1. Wear long pants and closed-toe shoes to protect against thorns and insects.
  2. Pick only fully ripe blackberries, which are completely black. Red or pink blackberries aren’t fully ripe and will not sweeten once picked.
  3. Blackberries don’t have a long shelf life after picking, so plan to use or freeze them soon after picking.
  4. Remember, picking etiquette is essential. Leave some berries for others and wildlife, and never trample plants.

Blackberry picking is not just about the fruit; it’s about the experience of connecting with nature, spending quality time with family and friends, and enjoying the simple pleasure of eating fresh, sun-warmed berries right off the bush.
