| FEATURE Berry Smart: A Farmers Market Guide to Berries | What do strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries have in common? Besides having "berry" in the name and making a delicious base for pies and jams, not a whole lot, at least on paper. The various fruits that we commonly refer to as berries are a motley bunch of spring and summer fruit that are sweet, small, delicate, hard to pick, and quick to perish. Here are some locally grown berries you can look forward to as we head into berry season. Due to their short shelf life, many of these berries are rarely found outside of farmers markets and backyard gardens, so savor them in their juicy glory while you can. |
