Expert Response

Raspberries are best grown from bare roots or cuttings rather than seeds. 

I would recommend reading here for some background on planting raspberries. You'll need the correct side conditions, be prepared for fertilizing and pruning annually, and be aware of pest and disease management requirements: https://extension.umn.edu/fruit/growing-raspberries-home-garden#what-are-primocanes-and-floricanes%3F-331660

MSU Extension also has a course for beginners on growing backyard fruits, and there is a section on raspberries and blackberries.
