Ive read about the huckleberries, but do blackberries grow up there in NID? They are PLENTIFUL here, in fact alot of people consider em a nuisance ( not us- theyre might delicious, and hardy too)

I know there are blackberries that grow wild off hwy. 200 in Hope. I have never picked any of them myself but have seen others doing it.

mmmm WILD raspberries? Those sound delicious! Oregon has blackberries, red and black huckleberries and salmon berries. In the eastern part of the state there is wild strawberries. My husband says they are only about the size of your fingertips, but very tasty.

They grow wild along the highway between Lewiston and Kendrick. It's not uncommon to see families out picking during the summer. A friend of mine put up a couple dozen quarts of jam a few years ago. Yummy Christmas presents!

I have run across wild strawberries and they are very tiny. You do not see them often but they grow low on the ground and look like tiny miniatures of regular strawberry plants.

Yes, blackberry jam is delicious, but whenever we go picking, we bring home a couple gallons at a time, and my daughter makes pies then we eat the rest! Never have gotten to learn how to make jam yet!
I have canned home grown/picked/juiced grapes tho, mmmmm.
