Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Add the solid coconut oil to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the oil into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Drizzle the cold water one tablespoon at a time over the flour mixture, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the dough into two discs, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
In a medium saucepan, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Roll out one of the dough discs on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Carefully transfer it to the pie pan and trim the edges as needed.
Pour the berry filling into the crust-lined pie pan.
Roll out the second disc of dough and cut it into strips to create a lattice topping or simply cover the pie with the rolled-out dough and cut a few slits for steam to escape.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake it in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving, to allow the filling to set.
