Berries Galore: Where To Pick Long Island's Juiciest Fruits

Spring has arrived on Long Island, and that means berry-picking season won't be far behind. While it is certainly convenient to stop by the grocery store for a package of fruit, there's nothing quite like plucking your own fresh berries straight off the vine. 

You don't even need to grow the berries yourself, as LI is full of farms where you can go to pick as many strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and other fruit as you like. 

Of course, you'll want to check that each respective fruit is in season before you head out to the farm.
