During the summer time there is lots of places that you can go to pick berries. You can always google search berry farms in your area.  Berry picking is always very fun!  We went earlier and got 19 pounds of strawberries in 45 minutes!  Berries also cost cheaper at a berry farm then they do at a store so that's another bonus!  So get your berry picking clothes on and get going.

Yum, Yum.  Good luck!
