We're eagerly anticipating another trip to the strawberry fields this year; however, spring arrived later than last and optimal picking times will begin in about a week. Unless, of course, you don't mind the hunt for the berries that have ripened early, but with TWO toddlers to keep from eating themselves sick as we pick, I'd rather know there will be plenty of ripe strawberries in our row to grab and go!
This year, since I love ya', I thought I'd list some of the best pick-your-own farms in southeast Wisconsin, so you all know just where to go. Most of these farms have a strawberry hotline that you can call for current crop information. Sometimes it's necessary to close for ripening if there's been alot of picking goin' on. Strawberry season usually begins around mid-June and runs to the 4th of July, however, as with any crop, Mother Nature determines when we get to reap what the farmer has sown!
Go out and enjoy the sunshine and lucious, vine-ripe strawberries that are out there just waiting to be picked. Listen for the suction cup POP! the strawberry makes as you pull it from its vine, that's my favorite part! Well, that... and, the part where it enters my mouth, slides down my throat and lands in my belly!
