# Fresh-picked Blackberries

Fresh picked to order.[^1] Available to customers in the Greater Victoria area starting in late July and running through to the time school starts in early September.

## Sophia's Berries

Welcome to Sophia's Berries. My blackberries are all natural, pesticide and spray free and hand picked.

I started picking blackberries with my dad when I was a toddler. When we moved to the farm there were so many berries and I picked more than we could eat. I asked my mom and dad if I could sell them and they thought that was a good idea.

I love animals so a few years ago I asked if I could give some money to help animals. This was how I started giving part of my berry money to the BC SPCA. After my donation, I save half the money for veterinary school.

$7.00/lb or $6.00/lb for orders 5 lbs or over.

Large orders are welcome.[^2]

1 lb ≈ 2 pt ≈ 4 cups | 6 cups (1½ lbs) for a large pie | 6–8 cups for 6 250 mL jars of jam, jelly, or syrup

10% of my berry money is donated to help animals.
