Finding nectar in the lilacs

This is truly a wonderful time of year – the days are long and sunny; the weather is warm with cool evenings; everything is dressed in spring freshness; and there's a "kaleidoscope" of wonderful fragrances in the air. Take a few minutes to breathe it all in.

Straw Your Strawberries

Rollin' out the straw!

Remember these two strawing the strawberries late last fall?

James had it right! You straw strawberries for sweet fruit.

There are two reasons we straw the fields: 1. There's a symbiotic relationship between the straw and the berries, which makes for sweeter fruit. 2. The straw keeps the strawberries AND the pickers clean, especially when the field is wet.

Be sure to get your name on our list for the best-ever strawberries.
