Pick-Your-Own Strawberries - our local farm has a good supply of ripe delicious berries ready to harvest.

The road to the Strawberry's farm is very steep snaky narrow, my kids screamed every time when a car past from the opposite side direction.

Oh how funny - I was just reminiscing about strawberry picking yesterday!
I remember strawberry picking at a commercial grower was the way to get the very best strawberries. (Of course, home-grown is nice, too, but the plants tend to die after a few years :roll: )
Thanks for the sunny strawberry fields!

They look delicious! I want strawberries now. My parents had a cabin in the Catskill mountains, & wild strawberries & blueberries grew in the back of the house. We would pick them every year, but only about a 1/4 of them made it into the buckets, the rest just went straight into our mouths. :lol:

Thank you, Mikan, Marna and LauraLA. I am glad you enjoyed the photos. I was worried about the photos might not turn out okay, because it was difficult to view photo from camera’s LCD in direct sunlight. Kids were eating the fresh pick strawberries on the way back, more than half of them were gone by the time when we got home. :wink:
