If you want something done right, it's often better to do it yourself.

Many people like to pick their own berries and, despite the dry weather, it's been a strong summer at self-pick operations like the one at Tug Hill Vineyards near Lowville.

It's slim pickings for raspberries until the fall crop comes in, but blueberry season is in full swing.

There's a lot of big blue ones and a lot of green and still unripe ones, so they should be here for another, we're hoping, three more weeks," Theresa Sammon said.

What doesn't end up in your cereal bowl - or maybe  a pie - will still be put to good use. Tug Hill Vineyards uses many of its berries to make wine.
