This week's blackberry varieties are Chickasaw (large and long) and Von (smaller and round). This season we're having a better blackberry harvest than in the past couple years - we have so many that you're getting a bonus berries this week! The shares will have raspberries, blueberries, and three pints of blackberries. We are super appreciative our harvest team and the CSA members who support their work. Anne recommends this article about blackberry nutrition.
