Making Time for Berry Picking

By Chris McDonell My goal is very simple this summer. I want to pick some wild raspberries, and eat my fill. Of course I'm enjoying the purchased berries that come into our house by the pint, basket and bucket, especially the raspberries and now the blueberries. They are good. But, for me, there is nothing like harvesting wild raspberries straight into my mouth. My dad introduced me to the pleasure of wild foraging. We'd be fishing along a lake or river on our summer holiday and we'd (literally) stumble upon a wild berry patch. Miniature wild strawberries were a rare find, but the raspberries are what I remember best. Poles would be dropped, conversation was minimal, and we ate whatever we found.

Fortunately, London has plenty of places to find what I'm looking for, and the wild blackberries are the most plentiful I've ever seen. It would be a bonus if my dad was there too, or my own kids, but even if I'm alone, it will still be good. I'll savour every morsel. We're working on our website and you can see some of the results already. We've made it far easier to read the magazine online, for starters. Welcome to our new Huron County readers. The wider distribution was part of the original plan. Thanks to all who helped us reach it. See you in September. ?
