I went to a strawberry farm and picked my own fresh strawberries!
Strawberries are usually the first fruit of the season to ripen, and are just perfect in the spring and beginning of summer. Since this has been an unusual summer up in Canada, they still ripening up until the next few weeks.
I think strawberries are so yummy!! So when I found out there was a farm near by I had to go check it out!
