We had our first harvest at the farm of actual edible food.
This black raspberry bush is growing beside the barn
There are clusters of raspberry canes in a few spots around the property. I thought that they were all just regular berries until the ones on this bush started turning black.
From tiny green berries to red and then to black.
I’ve been snacking on them every time I went up to the barn, and finally the other night enough were ripe to get a bowlful.
It’s a small bowl, but a bowlful nonetheless
They were an excellent dessert to have with dinner–and exceptionally tasty with ice cream.
Yum!
We’ve had strawberry season and now we’re in raspberry season. What summer fruit are you most looking forward to eating?
Home on 129 Acres 
I love all of the berries and rhubarb, but I most look forward to peaches. And apples.
I’m with you on the peaches, completely. Mmmm….
That looks delicious!
It was!
I also love love love peaches, but can’t eat them anymore, alas, due to fructose malabsorption. I also absolutely love raspberries and blackberries, but especially in things where the seeds are strained out. (High maintenance? Me?? Nah…)
Straining seeds out of raspberries… no that’s not high maintenance at all.
How about peeling grapes – everyone peels their grapes, right?
Ummmm… of course… yes… sure…
