Massachusetts Berry Picking Guide
here’s nothing quite like the T first bite of a strawberry when we enter berry season.
Not only is berry picking (or even just picking up a crate at a nearby farm stand) a wonderful way to support local farmers, it gives us the ability to show our kids exactly where their produce is coming from. Strawberries: June through July Cherries: June through July Blueberries: July through August Raspberries: July through Sept. Check out the list below of local farms that offer berry picking. Be sure to call ahead to make sure the farm is open and has plenty of ripe berries to pick.
