Whirlow Farm advertises its PYO on Ecclesall Road South for those who want raspberries and strawberries etc. (I currently have more lettuces than we can eat so we're open to offers - runner beans were sown late so haven't started yet.) But the greatest joy is in harvesting free food from the wild and now is the best time for raiding the bilberry beds of Blacka. You may also find these berries in with the heather and bilberry. They are crowberry and cowberry, easily confused because of their names. Both are edible but do not come in sufficient numbers to rival bilberry.
