Raspberries galore

In the entry way to the largest grocery store in Joensuu, Citymarket, berry farmers are selling strawberries, raspberries, cloudberries and some vegetables. Pretty amazing that the store allows them to set up their stand inside the store. On Tuesday we bought some raspberries for 5 euros a liter. On Wednesday they were 4 euros a liter. On Thursday they were 3 euros a liter. They are so overwhelmed by berries that they keep lowering the price to sell all their stock. The stand is manned by two brothers who were raised in Canada but married Finns and now work on the farm. They are good natured and like speaking English to us. The strawberry season started early in July and lasts until about the first week of October. I have never seen yellow raspberries before. They are a milder tasting berry. It's so unusual for me to see so many fresh raspberries on display. Or maybe I just never paid attention to them in the grocery stores at home because they are so expensive.
