DESSERT FOR BREAKFAST,
LUNCH & DINNER!
We actually might be a bit overboard but, hey, they are right in our backyard so why not?! Succulent, ruby-red strawberries are coming on strong right now and we're picking bowls every morning. Stop on by for a pint of heaven!
The secret to delicious fresh-picked ripe strawberries is to eat them the same day they are picked. Don't refrigerate them and don't wash them until just before you toss them into your mouth. If you do want to keep them around a day, don't keep them piled up as they bruise easily.

Maybe you didn't know that one of the reasons California is so successful with strawberry production is their persistent use methyl bromide of to fumigate their fields?
