WILD FRUIT

As a response to this week's POB photo challenge by @friendlymoose, I will share with you our #homestead abundance of...

WILD FRUIT 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍇🍇 🍇🍇 🍓🍓🍓🍓 🍇🍇🍇

When we bought our Upstate New York property back in 1980, we had no idea how truly valuable this land would become as the years passed by. Year after year as we cleared the land, we found invaluable resources. Natural springs were uncovered giving us liquid blue gold. We harnessed the springs as well as the surface water by building a pond and drilling a well. Water is life.

Without lifting a finger to plant berries, all I have to do is harvest. Yup, all the berries in this post are wild. These strawberries took over a flower bed in our front yard, there are tons of them.

In about a month, I will be harvesting blackberries and raspberries that live just a few steps away on our land.

In another week or two, I will be in the forest harvesting blueberries, my favorite. When they are ready, @thebigsweed and I will go out to pick every morning, it sounds easy to just pick fruit, but it can be exhausting leaving us with achy arms and sore feet.

YET... SO WORTH IT !!

Right in MY MOUTH... YUM

Good luck to all who join the fun in #pobphotocontest.
