Berries are a such luxury item for me, since they are usually so expensive here in Australia.
If I were to travel overseas again one day, where do you recommend that has fresh gourmet berries readily available or even wild when in season, and with prices like strawberries get to here?
I have some childhood fantasy that there is someplace I can go where I can pick them and take them to a grandma where she'll put them in a pie with some fresh cream and we'll sit eating more fresh berries and eating some hot berry pie and drinking some pink lemonade at a lace clothed table whist looking out into a paddock at some cows.
Does this place exist? Is country England anything like this???
I adore blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, boysenberries, mulberries and that's all I can remember for now.
I have gone purple-faced mulberry picking on the lakes of the nepean river as a kid, and also fallen into blackberries bushes in New Zealand, but how about raspberries and blueberries, as well as those other ones?
Frozen ones suit cakes and smoothies but there's something incredible about biting into real fresh berries!!
I realised that whilst they might often get down to $4.90/punnet (e.g. woollies blueberries), that is still a whopping $39/kilo!!!
Any places in the world, or Australia?? Ozbargain Travelers???
Theres tons of u-pick farms that are around $11 a kilo in Victoria - i dont know where you will find the grandma to bake you the pie - maybe air tasker
