There is a strawberry farm near my parents and if we are here in early July it is always good to go and pick a few baskets full. We made jam last time but still have some from then so we picked them for eating this visit. The berries were plentiful, sweet and delicious.
I made Strawberry shortcake for dessert and it was SOOOO good.
The farm people take the berry pickers out to the field in a wagon which is also a fun part of the experience
