Local Strawberries

While at the farmers market we met the lovely people of Rogers Farm. Rogers Farm is where we got our strawberries for the strawberry bread. However, in mid-may we noticed that they were not selling strawberries anymore. We decided to ask them if they were going to have strawberries for purchase and learned that you can go pick strawberries at their farm on saturdays. So of course, we had to do this!!!! Below are some pictures from our afternoon out in the strawberry fields! We ended up getting 12 pounds of strawberries for 12 dollars!!!! Try finding a deal like that at the grocery store!!!!!!!!! Of course we couldn't eat all of these so we did store some in the freezer.

Strawberry fields!
