Where we live now is a popular place for berry picking. In fact Whatcom County produces 65% of all the raspberries and blueberries distributed throughout the United States! We spent one morning just 5 minutes from out house at a berry farm. So far only the strawberries are ready (that's ok... that's the one I like!). Two observations:
- Overall the berries were only so-so and not like I expected. But since they need lots of water to get to massive sizes it makes sense. This part of the country that is usually known for all the rain hasn't been getting it. The flavor of the berries were still fabulous... you can't find strawberries so fresh with that much taste and sweetness in the Midwest.
- If you're nearly 7 months PG... I do not recommend this as a fun activity. Picking the berries requires you to be bent over the whole time which was difficult and uncomfortable. I was happy to get relief breaks from Grandma Ramsey!
Hard at work... learning to only pick the red berries. 
"So after you pick them... what do you do with them?"
"Grandma... you first"
"Ok, I'll give it a try... YUM!"
