Strawberry picking at Thies Farm

If it's May, it must be time... to go back to the farm!

And boy, we've been back. We've been eating strawberries until they come out our ears. The first day I went, people were waiting by their cars for the tractor to come back out of the field with more berries. So many people, they put up a limit of four pints per person.

The next day, it was "pick your own" time. Berries for $1.50 a pound, which is about half-price from those picked by the farm workers. We filled two whole flats for just over $10!


Yes, we are still eating them. Want some? With fat-free ice cream and cake? Come on over!
