You hit my trigger! When we lived in Bristol TN, there was a farm called Scotts Strawberry and you could only buy them for about 3 weeks a year. They never packaged them
They would set up pickups , trailers, and I would drive into an empty lot where the pickup was, and, bought, strawberries that were, picked that day . And when they sold out, which was usually around 11 am, you just had to wait until tomorrow. Those beautiful berries were so big, it took me , bites, to get through 1 .
The cost? Was 5 bucks for about 8 or 9 of their berries, that was called, a basket .
100 percent to DUrs
Buy local meet the farmer, not the, grocery store manager, it may cost you a couple bucks more, but you'll eat less because that lil thing called your brain, will be satisfied by the flavor difference.
