Strawberry Stand

Fresh produce, but frequently it’s very ripe, so plan to eat it in the next couple days. The stawberries are good (not the typical huge berries you get at the the grocery store, but real, natural berries that are smaller), so plan to spend a little extra time cutting them.

As soon as we turned left onto Sunrise Blvd from Jackson Rd/​Hwy 16, we immediately looked to our right to see a strawberry stand right off the side of the road and decided to take a quick stop. Thank goodness we did stop because we ended up buying THE BEST strawberries we have EVER tasted! We went on July 17^th so maybe it has something to also do with the time of year and being right in the tail end of strawberry season (typically Apr.10 — July 30). What makes them the best? They had to be the sweetest strawberries we’ve ever tasted and had a soft but firm texture that made it even more spectacular.
I guess it’s not entirely appetizing to compare a strawberry to a piece of ribeye but it seems like you could taste that these strawberries were grown with just the right amount of water, received just the right amount of sun, and picked just at the right time in the harvest season; similar to when you experience an amazing cut of ribeye that is perfectly cooked that cuts like butter. These strawberries are normally $ 2 per basket but you can buy 6 baskets for $ 10. The family that owns this farm are not shy about letting you taste the strawberries before you buy so that should give you no reason not to be happy with your purchase. And finally, they’re pesticide free supposedly which explains why they’re typically smaller than what you’ll see at the local grocery store.
Strawberry season seems to be coming to an end in 2011. If it really does end on July 30, you only have a limited amount of weeks left to try these amazing strawberries! I probably should have bought another 6 baskets before heading back to the Bay Area.

i enjoy this place so much. the people there are so friendly and ready to help you. the strawberries are always clean and looking fresh. and of course tastes great. we always come here because they have alot to choose from and have baskets ready for gifts i highly recommend this place.
