Sadly, no new pix from Hoosier Outsider. And from what I hear, there’s plenty of delicious plump red strawberries to photograph.
The baskets are ready for the U-Pickers. There’s even a new gravel parking space at the end of the drive.
So what’s the going rate for a perfect basket of locally-grown strawberries? I’ll let you know when I hear the final price tag. At a Chicago fresh market, a pint would cost no less than $4.50 or $5 a pint, in season.
The berries will be ripe and producing for the next 3.5 weeks. We hope to make it down next week, for Father’s Day weekend if we can swing it.
Oh…and Photo Farmgirl, if you’re reading this, please be sure to save some preserves. Diet or not, I’ll be trying some of that…and jumping in to make some strawberry rhubarb pie.
