For dessert we had fresh local strawberries. We can get imported berries throughout most of the year, but it is always a special treat to have the local berries.

There are many strawberry growers in this area so local is easy to find, but I don't buy them except on rare occasion.  They are picked to ship so they are not as ripe as they should be.  Often, they have white tops.

Bet I used to get from the farmer's market in CT from Rachel's Berries. Picked that day, fully ripe, I'd be eating them on the way home.  No sugar needed.

 The only ones worth eating are from your own garden or from "pick-your-
own" growers.

Problem is, the way they grow them is not very considerate.  They are down on the ground.  If the plants were on waist high benches, I'd go picking.
