The first strawberries from our yard! Get out and pick some of your own or buy a basket or two and savor this seasonal treat.

If you’re growing strawberries at home, make sure you pick them soon so they don’t wind up as  squirrel food. We picked our first handfuls earlier in the week and have left a few for our Memorial Day guests to pick and savor.

The strawberries are ripe and ready! Pick them up at your favorite farm, farmers’ market or great grocer. If you’re free this Saturday morning, head over to Jones Family Farm in Shelton for a very special SNEAK PREVIEW picking THIS Saturday morning (5/29) from 8am – 11am! Don’t forget to bring your JFF berry box from last year.
