During the month of June, the peak seasons for blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries all overlap.
But unless you’re shopping at Publix, you may have a hard time finding them all at the same place.
Welcome to sunny California, home to the best tasting raspberries you can find.
Best tasting blueberries?
Best blackberries on Earth?
North Carolina.
If you want your berries to taste the best, they need to be grown in the best environment.
The soil needs to be perfect.
Climate’s got to be just right. Got to love North Carolina weather.
Highs in the 80s. Lows in the 50s. Perfect for blackberries.
My blueberries are just crazy about it.
Our raspberries thrive in the beautiful California sun.
Uniform color is the best way to tell blueberries are ripe. Blue all around. Should be nice and firm.
You can tell when they’re ready to be picked when that color gets nice and uniform.
Blackberries grow with a red tint, but it disappears as they ripen.
When it’s truly ripe, it should pop right off the vine.
Now let’s just do a little taste test.
There’s nothing like North Carolina blackberries in June.
This really is the best time for California raspberries.
Blueberries from the Tar Heel State coming right up!
Publix. Where shopping is a pleasure.
