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.

I see signs for fresh local strawberries at a nearby produce stand.
Frankly, I do not like the taste of strawberries.
