Strawberry Picking

Check out CISA's list of farms selling strawberries, including u-pick, here. My family's personal favorite, Upinngil Farm in Gill, is opening for u-pick tomorrow, June 4. We'll be going away for a week and a half starting the middle of next week, so we need to get our strawberries picked and processed before then, lest we miss most of the season! Picking your own is a great way to get strawberries in bulk for a reasonable price. We'll be freezing loads of them and drying a bunch as well - I tried that last year and we loved having the dried berries in our oatmeal during the winter, for the brief time that they lasted.
