I remember my Dad talking about picking Partridgeberries for hours on end,and how his mother baked so many things with them, so they must have been plentiful in Baine Harbour, down in Placentia Bay at one time too.

They're oh so beautiful and remind me of the cranberries I so love, but you'll not be findin' me picking a bucket anytime soon. I do have a sneaky feeling your partridgeberries were darn expensive at the market. Good story as always.....Kathe

I've never heard of your special berries! Makes me wonder if we could even locate them in a store down south? Your photos are awesome...

Wow! I came across this posting as I was feeding some of my *well-liked* work mates some partridgeberry loaf. Then I went online to find something to explain these beautiful berries! Thanks - from a former Foxtrap, NL native, now living in Louisville, Kentucky.
