And yes, they taste infinitely better than the pretty imports from Cali. I only use the local berries for jams and preserves — worth the wait!

I have driven across county to catch strawberry season to make jam and feed my kids practically a flat each. like ramps if you are not there in the moment, you won’t get the full flavor.
