Blueberries, in the mountains and valleys of western Virginia are mostly cultivated, but there are wild huckleberries in the mountains of Virginia and West Virginia. They are tiny, hard to pick, and in areas where there are lots of rattlesnakes and copperheads. My Dad and I used to pick them, and I have occasionally as an adult, but it is a lot of work! It takes a whole lot of walking and picking to get enough for a pie, but they are loaded with flavor and incredibly juicy. Makes my mouth water to think of them.
