Not _quite_ "always."
The best fruit comes straight from the bush.
I just ordered a lingonberry plant, after seeing one growing in
someone's yard here. In fact, here's the rest of my order:
Qty. Product # Variety Description Price ea. Total
2 559 Jostaberry $7.45 $14.90
1 451 Coronet Black Currant $4.85 $4.85
1 452 Crusader Black Currant $4.85 $4.85
1 443 Lingonberry $5.45 $5.45
1 483 Cornelian Cherry Dogwood $2.45 $2.45
1 637 Fall Gold Raspberry $2.15 $2.15
1 652 Saskatoon $2.65 $2.65
---------------------------------------------------
As you can see, it is all small fruit, some of it unconventional, and
the cost is quite modest.
Fortunately, the Oregon climate is perfectly suited for berries of most
kinds. The Saskatoon may find conditions a little warmer than it likes.
I feel that we should do what we can to get our food direct from the
land, and to investigate unusual species, since so much variety has
disappeared from our diets.
