Fresh Strawberries

We have been enjoying fresh strawberries from a place just up Crowley's Ridge from us. Last year we missed most of the strawberry season here because we were have fun in Ireland with Ray and Carolyn. We were saddened when the farm where we had bought strawberries and tomatoes for several years announced that they were closing--Pud is going into row crop farming. One day as we drove up hwy 284 on our way to eat supper at Colt there was a new sign at one of the orchards: Now Picking Strawberries.



So far we have had strawberries with our four-layered chocolate dessert, strawberries with ice cream, a strawberry and spinach salad with a homemade balsamic vinegar vinaigrette, strawberries dipped in chocolate, and strawberries eaten out-of-hand.
