There is an island about 15min drive from our home called Sauvie Island (soh-wee) populated with acres of farmland and vegetation. We heard the strawberries were in season for U-pick, and didn't want to miss the chance, because they don't usually last very long (4weeks maybe). So, we got our coupons (yeah, everything here works with coupons for a little discount) and headed to the farm. Not only were the strawberries ready, the rasberries were also available for U-pick. Greedily, we picked almost 10lbs of berries, and headed for check-out. To our pleasant suprise, they cost us merely USD3!!We took some to our friends TC & Adeline to try. These were the Mt Hood strawberries which were high in sugar content, small in size but super sweet. Too bad, these guys don't last very long after being picked, they become mushy and start leaking juices. So, after getting them home, we cleaned them, had some fresh ones, and saved the rest in the freezer for 'smoothies'...hehe...maybe they can last until my mum comes in Sept??
