Comments on: Pick Your Own Raspberries, Nelson, New Zealand http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/04/06/pick-your-own-raspberries-nelson-new-zealand/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

In the summer here I go out to the woods behind my parents' house for raspberries and blackberries. I've been strawberry picking, too, and though it is hard work it's definitely worth it in peak season. I plan to do as much berry picking as I can this summer - maybe even go blueberry picking.

I would be dangerous around a cherry orchard! :o Hi Lilia-Oh good to know! :) this place was close to the city and I think that it's more for the casual picker. I don't think they'd have enough fruit for 10 people to pick! Hi leslie-Me too! Oh great to hear! It's always nice to reminisce :D Hi foodie-central-Thanks, it was a really great day! :) Hi ArtemisIII-Very cool! Which ones were your favourite to pick? :) Oh you are SO lucky! Blackberry pie sounds utterly delightful! Hi Sophia-It is isn't it! freakishly so :) Hehe I feel like asking my friends to do the same :lol: Hi grace-Oh there weren't any thorns, or at least I didn't get pricked by any?! I guess I should consider myself lucky about that :P Hi Blond Duck-Aww well maybe you can if you go on holidays somewhere! :) Hi Amy-That's a great tip about freezing them! what a fabulous range of berries you get to pick! :o Hi Forager-this was my first time too and I’d definitely do it again, especially at that price! :) Thanks, we try to! :)

We also have pick your own strawberries, blueberries and blackberries. It is wonderful. If you spread them on a baking sheet lined with parchment, you can freeze them, and they will not stick together. Enjoy!! We do that here as well, way over in upstate NY.
