There used to be a pick your own strawberry farm around us when I was a kid. Did lot's of picking especially for our church as a fundraiser, 100% homemade strawberry pies that got sold. I'd like to start a little berry variety around the farm but got too many other projects that I don't have time for.

Yep best time is now. If you want a really great smoothie this is the stuff. Add the powder, milk, fresh berries and ice then blend it up.

Nice. Strawberries in stores here in Texas have no taste. I give up buying them.

The farm we pick at has been doing it since long before I was born. Pick your own is a tradition around here for many fruits and vegetables.

THE STANDARD SMOOTHIE AROUND THESE PARTS IS STRAWBERRY-BANANA-PINEAPPLE, LATELY WE SWITCHED THE BERRY JUICE OVER TO MANGO NECTOR. IT'S GOOD STUFF, MIGHT EVEN BE GOOD FOR YOU, WHO KNOWS

ANOTHER THING WITH STRAWBERRYS ON SALE IS TO FREEZE THEM. CUT OFF THE STEM END AND PUT THEM ON A COOKIE SHEET TO FREEZE OVERNIGHT. NEXT DAY WHEN THEY ARE LITTLE ROCKS VAC-SEAL AND BACK INTO THE FREEZER, KEEPS FINE.
