Berry Picking is a big deal in Newfoundland. I have never heard the words berry picking mentioned as often as I have since I moved to Newfoundland. In fact, the number of times I have heard the words "berry picking" during the months of August and September alone is easily three times the total number of times I have heard them pronounced in my lifetime.
