When I go out foraging for wild berries it takes me about an hour to collect a quart, and at current prices I would have to charge $14 for them if I was going to sell them at the farmers market. Luckily, I keep them all for myself (and share some with my family and friends) because they don't get any better than fresh-picked from our forest!! A once-per-year treat in our neck of Pennsylvania (of course the wild berries change with the seasons, wild strawberries first, then red raspberries, then a mix of red and black and then the blackberries and then Elderberries . . . what's next? It has yet to shown itself, but I'll be looking . . . That's magic enough for me!!
