I just recently learned that Hackberries are not only edible but delicious. I have a lot of Hackberry trees on my property. Currently I just clip branches for goat treats. But I am looking forward to harvesting enough berries to make a jam this fall. I need to find an efficient way to harvest them.

I did not know that! They kinda seemed good for nothing? Cheers!

What do they taste like? Several places that I used to live had the trees, but I am not aware of any at this property. I may have to look around a little more.

Here is the webpage that got me interested in them after I discovered them on .y property: https://foragerchef.com/hackberry/

Thanks! I definitely want to taste them this fall. It looks like more work than I am willing to do right now to make anything of substance. I hope you let us know how your harvest goes.
