EPISODE 376      STRAWBERRIES

<\/div>\n
Yesterday I sent an episode implying that the future of  farming is rather bleak for<\/div>\n
small time operators.  Today I would like to correct that.  Why?  Because today<\/div>\n
we dropped into a tiny farm\u2026perhaps an acre of productive land.  The parking lot<\/div>\n
is bigger than the field.   Yet the production is fantastic.  And the price matches<\/div>\n
the production.  These berries come from the cooler of a strawberry farm<\/div>\n
just a mile or so west of Georgetown\u2026follow he signs on the Fifth Line. NO time<\/div>\n
for us to hand pick,  The field had about 20 pickers already.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Bring money.   Marjorie bought this flat of fresh berries for $42.  Expensive!<\/div>\n
Yes.  Cheaper if you pick your own and get them weighed.   But these<\/div>\n
berries are the best\u2026big and sweet and ready for big dollops of whipped cream.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
There is a crowd picking these berries at this very moment.  I an hesitant<\/div>\n
telling you where it is located.   But I will.  Turn on to the Fifth line north<\/div>\n
of highway 401 or drive north on Trafalgar Road\u2026look for a hand lettered<\/div>\n
strawberry sign\u2026make a left turn a mile or so north on Trafalgar.  Look for the signs.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
First picture is all green.  Second picture adds lots of red.<\/div>\n
