Foraging for berries in Wisconsin

Wisconsin Public Radio has been running a wonderful series of pieces called “Wisconsin Life.” Today they aired an interesting story about wild berries, noting that the berries we know and love in the U.S. are the ones that the Europeans who came here centuries ago knew and loved. Most berries native to North America are seriously overlooked these days.
More information about ground cherries can be found in this helpful PDF prepared by a great Madison-area CSA, Harmony Valley Farm. I wonder if there’ll be any ground cherries at the farmers’ market this fall?
