ready, set, strawberries!

Strawberry season is here! We are entering the very beginnings, and for me it’s a race against the progression of the season to try to get in as many pick-my-own days and fill my freezer with frozen strawberries as well as the cupboard with jam. Not to mention all the fresh ones I’ll be gorging on!

Pick-your-own strawberry farms of the Seacoast
(ALWAYS call ahead, as different farms have different amounts, and will be ready by the phone to answer questions about picking conditions. They’d rather you come when there are plenty than go away disappointed.)
