Strawberry Adventures

We are blessed to live in an area where food is plentiful! We are surrounded by strawberries, blueberries, peanuts, and so many other small farm operations. I am thankful for this proximity to "the country" so I can raise my kids to know where their food comes from.

Last year Raylen sat in the fields and ate berry after berry to his hearts' content. This year, he got to help pick! that was so much fun! By next year, we will have all three of them running around picking [mostly eating] berries!

This great little farm is only 20 minutes from our house and is the perfect drive for a fun trip every couple of weeks. I hope we get to take advantage of it this summer!

Stay tuned for recipes we plan to use our strawberries for. These include strawberry pie, chocolate covered strawberries, and strawberry ice cream!!

Some other recipes we like are strawberry lemonade, strawberry shortcake, and freezer jam. I am hoping to stock my freezer with jam so that I don't have to buy any from the store this year! We shall see.
