The U-Pick season is here
We have a small strawberry patch in our garden and last night we found a bunch that were ripe but not enough to satisfy our taste for the fruit.
So we're making time this week to go to a pick-your-own farm to get as much as we can eat and make our annual batch of strawberry jam.
Actually, we go to a bunch of the u-pick farms' seasons - strawberry, raspberry, blueberry and apple - because we love the fresh fruit. There's nothing like eating the stuff the day you pick it.
My mouth is watering already for more strawberries...

How timely this is! We went to Lavigne's in Sanford yesterday for strawberries, and had a BLAST! Like you, our small strawberry patch here isn't ready yet, but in Sanford, the strawberries were huge and ripe - some overripe! It was awesome! And lest you be concerned about your kids munching as they're picking, the proprietor there told me that they don't mind, as they're hoping for future strawberry pickers ;).
