Don't they make your mouth water?
We found a strawberry farm in our area. We were so excited and just had to go check it out. The strawberries were so big and juicy, so much better than in the store.
The kids loved helping.
Olivia was a good picker too, even though half of what she picked ended up in her tummy and smeared on her face and hands. She just couldn't resist. They were too yummy!
My good friend Renee and her 2 kids came with us. Her and her family moved here this year from Utah. It has been fun getting to know them. I have really been blessed with good friends here.
We picked about 20 lbs. of strawberries!
These are the delicious fruits of our labors:
Strawberry jam (10 batches)
Strawberry pie
Delicious!
Strawberry cake (see the next post for the recipe)
What a fun strawberry picking adventure!! LOVE IT!! Those look AMAZING. AND your jams, pies, and cakes look fabulous! What a fun treat. Oh I just love fresh strawberries & they are SO MUCH BETTER than what you can get at the store!
