August Harvest of the Month

Watercolor illustrations of various berries like blackberries, strawberries, red currants, red raspberries, elderberries, and blueberries are arranged on a white background with text indicating "Vermont Harvest of the Month" and "Berries."

Berries

Berries have long been cherished as both food and medicine by the Abenaki people. Native to the woodlands, riverbanks, and meadows of the Northeast, berries like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries have been gathered for generations throughout the growing season. Among them, the first ripe strawberry, known as  kō'kwô'm, holds special significance—marking the arrival of summer and the beginning of berry harvests.

Berries are a seasonal favorite—eaten fresh, baked into muffins and pies, blended into smoothies, or easily preserved to be enjoyed throughout the year. Aside from their phenomenal flavor, their beautifully bright colors also serve as an indicator to their nutritional benefits. Berries offer a vibrant and accessible way to explore local food, seasonal eating, and the cultural history of our region.
