I’ve only been to places like the pnw when the berries are ripe a few times in my life. I’ve always wanted to go for like a month and just live off the berries that just grow everywhere. That’s such a unusual thing for me to see and its amazing.

I grew up in the desert Southwest, where I never saw berries. Maybe there are some in the mountains. I don’t know. I moved up to the great Lakes area and there are a ton growing wild. I lived in this one house that bordered a forest in the back and they were just so many raspberries. We just walk out and snack on them. My friend said they were highbush and little bush, blueberries, but I’ve never learned to identify those.Also, walking around the south shore of Lake Superior, there are amazing berries called thimbleberries. A thimbleberry is like a raspberry, in that it’s made out of a bunch of little dots too, but each blib is smaller. It’s so cool that you can just walk around in the woods and find a complimentary snack.
