As a kid I enjoyed picking brambles. Raspberries and blackberries. Easy to grow. I myself now have 21 raspberry plants and 15 blackberry plants. I get pounds and pounds of fruit. Much easier to grow than strawberries. I do grow them too. I constantly replace older plants with new runner plants. So disease issues are not really there. Some grey mold problems, but not bad. Also as a kid I loved the peaches, but peach trees are difficult to grow. I currently have 3 trees.
You know now you can grow red, yellow, pink, purple, and black raspberries

Have you tried growing pineberries? Fairly easy strawberries to grow.
Here is a photo of a daily harvest of strawberries, pineberries, yellow alpine and musk strawberries

Just some options, Some good thornless blackberries are Triple Crown, and Columbia Star.
