Mmmmm....Strawberries!



We get calls every day from people wanting to pick fresh, ripe organic strawberries. We've never grown them before so we decided to try some out this year for ourselves before we dive into commercial production. Marc planted 200 everbearing plants which will give us a steady supply of berries, unlike the "June bearing" types which ripen all at once.
Here's a pic of Journey picking the rirst ripe strawberries! Since we don't use any chemicals she can eat them right in the garden without washing.
