We picked raspberries and black berries in the back yard, hit a few farms for strawberry and blueberry picking, picked black berries everywhere we camped and hiked and enjoyed huckleberry milkshakes in the Hood River area. We couldn’t get enough berries, that’s for sure! [...] [...] Berries!

Of the list above, we frequent Sauvie Island Blueberry Farm, Kruger's, and Nelson's. From each of these farms we have had past assurances of "no pesticides." However I must admit that we did not confirm this practice with this year's crop. It is always good idea to contact a farm before heading out to confirm that picking is available. Asking about spraying practices as well is probably a good thing to do while you have them on the phone. All the best, Tony Hey Melissa,

I know the ones on Sauvie's Island aren't organic per se but many are "no spray" etc. Thank you! If it isn’t too much trouble, could you please add to your list above how they are grown/treated?
