Did you know that the United States produced 106 thousand tons of raspberries in 2017 alone?
Raspberries can grow in a variety of climates as long as they get enough sun and water, including right here in Wisconsin. If you find some in your backyard, make sure to wait until the berries have turned a deep color and come off of the stem easily. That’s when they are ripest and sweetest!
Always make sure you are certain of what a berry is (or anything else you find in nature) before you eat it though!
