U-Pick Strawberries-Smith Berry Barn

Farm and Garden Market-Hillsboro, Oregon

A great way to get a fresh taste of summer is to pick the berries yourself. My grandsons and I enjoyed the afternoon in the fields filling up the wagon.

Shuksan strawberries are large, bright red and excellent for eating. Mary’s Peak are medium to large size with a deep red color.

The scent of the berries put a fruity smell in the air, it was delightful.

Left alone the boys filled a wagon full of berries. They did all the work as I walked the farm and market. But I’m not off the hook, because they will relax while I bake 🙂
