Pick 12lbs of Blackberries!
So, we have 4lbs of blackberries in the freezer. We need 20lbs for our wine…
So we went picking yesterday (all on our property) and this is what 12lbs of blackberries looks like!
My fingers and arms are still stinging today from all the scrapes from the thorns. It's my own fault though – I love reaching through for the big fat juicy blackberries in the middle of the bush!
Only 4lbs to go and we can start making wine!!!
If the systems in place ended tomorrow getting a beer would be top of the tree for me.
I make my own as it is, though the ingredients that I use come from “the system”, so that’s an end within itself.
I think I need to find a maltings and a hop farmer ……
