My old rule, out this year, is I would buy berries late July and wait for better berries into late August, but also not this season. The fellow I get them from only tells me he picks up "around Priest Lake." The berries are good size and have that wonderful perfume. I usually get two gallons and stretch them out through the year, but this summer I only got one gallon so I'll have to be more stingy when I pull some out of the freezer. I guess the anticipation for next summer will be all that greater.
I used to go high in the mtns. above Wallace. Quite a drive from Hayden Lake I would say. The last 4 yrs much, much closer -45 min. thanks to friends who have lived here much longer than us big city slickers.
