June and July see most Oregon berries harvested. Strawberries are usually first, but if you miss them, higher areas, like around Silverton, can have later harvests overlapping the next berry types in the valleys. Caneberries (raspberries and types of blackberries) and blueberries follow close behind.
Our Extension publications are focused on planting and harvesting your own. Instead, I found a useful chart on this dot org site, and the state’s travel site includes this article with pretty photos. I’m ready to raid my freezer for Marionberries now.
