Strawberry Picking at Heeman's Farm

Well I'm back in London now and to start the summer off right Craig and I went strawberry picking! It's just nearing somewhere between the midpoint and the end of the picking season so I think we got in at a good time. Heeman's always has a good lot of berries to pick even though their wagon is slower than a snail to get there. Craig was sitting next to this old man who said, "I think it'd be faster to walk there!" I tend to agree.

Just before we arrived at our designated picking rows we heard a woman behind us reminding her children not to eat too many of the berries, "moderation" was the word she used. "Remember last year? You ate too many berries and then you threw up?" her kid was like, "No, that wasn't me."

We ended up picking 2 baskets worth of strawberries, so about 12 quarts which came to a total of about $16 plus the $1.70 for the 2 baskets that we used. Strawberries are pretty cheap when you pick them yourself, and very tasty too! Once home we decided to do various things with them, including making jam, freezing them and keeping some of the bigger ones fresh to eat as is.
