"Native to Oregon, these tart and sweet fruits are the quintessential West Coast berry. Marionberry pie is a summertime staple in the region, making it among the most beloved comfort foods for Left Coasters. I grew up feasting on this treat every year when the berries were ripe, whether that be at home, local bakeries, or at the annual pie-eating contest on the island I grew up on."
