The National Historic Landmark Parker Homestead in Little Silver plans to host three days of pick-your-own blackberry harvesting in coming days.

The picks are scheduled for Sunday from 10 a.m to 2 p.m. and next Wednesday and Friday from 10 a.m. to noon.

Paths will be mowed in the bramble, but because of the presence of poison ivy, participants are urged to wear long-sleeved shirts, pants and socks.

There’s no charge, but this being a fundraiser, donations for the continued restoration of the homestead and barns are accepted. (Photos by Susan Ericson. Click to enlarge)
