Excerpt from the Handout:

​Harvesting​ ​Guidelines
● Ideally harvest in the morning, after the dew has burnt off, but before it gets hot
● Bring multiple bags (paper, cloth, or mesh): it’s easier to separate your harvest in the field
● Be prepared with the proper, well-maintained tools (pruners, knives/digging utensils)
● Dress for the weather and protection from brambles, poison ivy, and insects
● Bring a cooler if necessary
● Process your harvest asap
