Remember when you were a kid and your family went strawberry picking? Wow, you probably ate more than went into the bucket in those days! But sadly, today's strawberries are #6 on the most pesticide-laden produce in the US. (See this chart) We're all trying to eat healthy, and eating organic is a great start. Not only that, but strawberries themselves are on the 129 "world's healthiest foods" list, which states: "Strawberries' unique phenol content makes them a heart-protective fruit, an anti-cancer fruit, and an anti-inflammatory fruit, all rolled into one." And if it's a sunny day, be prepared to get your mega-dose of vitamin D! In addition to all this amazing goodness, this family-run farm bakes fresh organic strawberry pies every weekend in their own wood-fired outdoor oven. I had one last year, and it IS to die for. They do not have their prices finalized for this year, but, to quote an email I got back from them "a 6qt basket will be around $20 PYO". And I can't remember how much the pies are, but I will try to find out before the date of the event and email everyone who's coming. Please see their website for more info. | |||||||
