Blueberry and raspberry season begins across the Chippewa Valley
EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WEAU) -Strawberry season in Wisconsin was off to a late start this year, but it’s a berry busy one and now its time to make room for some of the smaller guys.
Raspberries are now on the forefront of berry farms and blueberries are not far behind.
Blueberry and Raspberry picking kicks off each July and usually lasts through August.
Conditions are ever-changing at berry patches, so farmers say it’s best to come out early in the morning or to call the farm directly before you go.
The first pick of the season takes place today for raspberries starting at 9a.m. Thursday morning on Hello Wisconsin we talk to owner Gaye Engen about the much anticipated 2021 blueberry and raspberry season.
