Huckleberry Hunt fundraiser

Description

In this small, semi-private class (max 5 participants), we will learn and pick Colorado “huckleberries,” also known as blueberries, bilberries, or whortleberries. They are fruiting prodigiously near me! This is a fundraiser for research and travel costs related to the book I am writing. It should be a fun, intimate adventure.

  • Something in which to carry the berries home — containers with covers, or a gallon-size Ziploc
  • Hand-held berry rake if you like. There are many styles to choose from. Mine works well and has a plastic comb. Click here for an example.
