Hey Valerie, there are tons left in the River Valley still, I went only a week ago, and the berries I picked were still not a deep dark ripe red, just a salmon color. There is still oh-so much time to get out there picking.

I am exactly the same. I will pic until I pass out if there is fruit that is ripe and lush and need plucking. I hate waste and I am a very, very greedy forager when it comes to berry picking. I am sad I missed it. I have never ever picked wild high bush cranberries. From the sound of your post, you did this a bit back, and I am led to believe they are long gone. Am I right – or is there still some there?
I am dying for your comments on our apple pressing experience. Have you read it yet. I am certain you will be amused.
:)

I had a good laugh this morning because I get where you are coming from. I have to stop myself from going back and picking more, the visions of berries just dripping from trees in the river valley haunt me. The urge to go back and pick them is driving me crazy, but I have to tell myself to move on to the next fall project. I am crediting the berry explosion to the massive amounts of rainfall this year, because I have never seen so many berries. Glad you got out there!
