Berry picking in Northeast Oklahoma is a cherished summer tradition that offers families a delightful escape into nature, coupled with the joy of harvesting their own fresh, juicy berries. The region’s fertile lands and favorable climate make it an ideal spot for a variety of berries, including strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries, to thrive. This hands-on activity not only allows families to indulge in the sweet flavors of the season but also provides a unique opportunity to connect with the earth and learn more about where our food comes from.
