A berry sweet message from a Kroger shopper in Tennessee:
"I just wanted to say thank you for producing some seriously good blackberries. Thanks to you guys I didn't have to spend an hour getting stuck by thorns to get tiny berries from the local plants just to enjoy fresh blackberries in my yogurt. These things are tasty and juicy and HUGE!!! I love these berries! Thanks again from Tennessee!!"
