Vines of berries are woven throughout the Southern Berkshires, making summertime the sweetest time of year. While wandering the Foothills and Hudson Valley regions, the quest of berry picking brings us closer to our agricultural roots while also providing nature’s sweetest reward. Strawberries were the first to make their annual debut in June with blackberries recently joining them and raspberries just now beginning to ripen. As you hike the Litchfield Hills, keep a keen eye for these savory summertime treats or check out local pick-your-own options at farms throughout the region.
