You can pick your own black berries and wash them before you enjoy eating them. Many black berry farms allow you to come on specific days and times to pick your own, and then you pay for them by weight. Black berries grow on both thorn and thornless vines. Getting to those without thorns is easier but those that come from the thorn vines are much sweeter.

They tend to grow mold on them if you leave them at room temperature so store them in a refrigerator when you can. Many people buy large amounts of black berries and then freeze them so that they can enjoy fresh black berries all year long.
