Dwarf Fortress Noob Help

Wow, this is an interesting game.

So, I'm trying hard not to start my fortress over. My dwarves are busy killing vermin for food until I can get the farms producing food. I think my first order of business on the next map will be to dig out some farms, then start mining and build a trade depot.

Question:
I have two large zones laid out topside for harvesting plants, but none of my dwarves are foraging. How do I get them to pick berries?
