The easiest solution is usually the wrong one for making a video game. Don't introduce weird gimmicks to autobalance.

You want to nerf berries and keep balancing the game. It will be a better game for it.

I think the ideal would be to make different crops good for different things. Berries good early game because they are simple, but bad late game due to being water inefficient (This use to be the case before water was buffed so much that it didn't matter). Some foods are good for being compact like pies. Some foods are water efficient but more taxing to make. Balance heat mechanics, then make foods helpful for them. Introduce natural disasters like 100-year floods, then make foods that can survive them. Once you have more mechanics you will have more to work with .

This one is even better!
