A family owned and operated farm called Rutiz Farm is about 2 miles from where I live. I am enrolled in their online-emails www.Rutizfarms.com and it just so happens that it is strawberry picking season! This was the first time I have ever picked strawberries from a big plant like this. I can't believe it has taken me this long to do this where I live. When I was a kid I tried to grow strawberries I only got little dinky ones. I've been meaning to research how they are growing the strawberries because they have so many. It seems the strawberries went for days in the field and this is the second week of picking. As the boys dug into picking their strawberries their baskets were half full due to them eating while picking. You see that pesticide free strawberries are o.k to eat right off the plant, I told the boys we only have to worry about Lady bugs! They are having another picking Day this Friday from 1-6 p.m.!! See ya there!
