Mulberry harvest time is between mid June to mid July. The berries can be treated as any other berry concerning preserving, dehydrating, or making wine. However, to absorb the nutrients contained therein, it is best to consume them raw, in their natural state. It is fun to just pick them from the tree with children and paint each other's lips and hands with the pretty purple juice. Happy Harvesting!
