8 lbs for $4, that's a screaming deal!! They cost me that if I go slave away in the field for an hour or so and pick them myself. I had to pay $15 yesterday for a flat and I live 2 miles from the field.
I love Oregon strawberries they are the sweetest I have ever tasted. Soon I'll be making jam, pies and many other wonderful creations. I love summer!
This weekend is the strawberry festival in my little town. The biggest strawbery shortcake in the US gets hauled down main street, it's supposed to be over 6,ooo pounds this year! Then they give it all away for free. They save 1,000 servings and deliver them to nursing homes, the hospital, the police and firemen. It's been going on for 97 years now. It's a big to do for our little town!
