Fresh Grown Strawberries in our area...

This is the time of year there are fresh strawberries in our area.  The strawberries are usually smaller than ones that are shipped to where we live.  The also have a better flavor than shipped strawberries.  The stems or caps of the strawberries are smaller, too.  These strawberries were bought from a local Amish farmer, but other people also sell fresh strawberries in our area.  Some years I go and pick fresh strawberries and make jam.  This year I didn't get to pick any myself as of this week.  There are many strawberry fields near where I live that anyone can pick them.  It is a lot cheaper to pick your own strawberries.

I used some of these fresh strawberries with Bisquick shortcake and ate some plain.  Bisquick is the same products I recently made a pizza with in combination with a "goody bag".
