The Berry That Teaches: A Gift From Nature's Economy
Imagine walking down a city street in early summer and spotting a small tree laden with deep purple berries. Most people walk past without noticing this abundance hanging just above eye level. But these serviceberries-also called Juneberries, Shadbush, or Bozakmin ("the best of berries" in Potawatomi)-offer more than just food. They provide a complete blueprint for reimagining our relationship with the natural world and our economic systems. These remarkable berries appear across North America, their white spring blossoms signaling nature's calendar more reliably than any human schedule. By June, branches hang heavy with fruit that feeds not just humans but birds, bears, and countless other creatures. Their taste-wild and complex like blueberry crossed with apple, touched with hints of rosewater and almond-cannot be mass-produced or shipped across continents. It speaks of specific soils, weather patterns, and ecological relationships that connect us directly to place and season. What would happen if we approached these berries not as resources to be exploited but as gifts freely given? This shift in perspective changes everything about our relationship with food and the natural world. Each handful represents not just sustenance but connection to land, season, and countless generations who gathered these fruits before us.
