Tips & Techniques
Black Raspberries (different then blackberries) are usually only available for a two week period at the end of June into the beginning of July.
Black and Red Raspberries are both difficult crops to pick. The fruit is delicate and has thorns. Not ideal for young children.
Pick the darkest colored raspberries for a sweetest berry. The ripest raspberries should come off the cane easily. Look underneath of the leaves for a ample supple of berries. In the black raspberry field the red fruit is not ripe!
We suggest picking in the morning after the dew has dried but before high heat of the day. The best preservative is to keep the fruit cold!! Refrigerate ASAP after picking.
