Today marked our first day of the U-Pick Strawberry season, and we couldn't have had a more perfect, Maine summer day! The sun was warm, the strawberry juice ran red and we were busy making sure the fields were lush with berries for the pickers. At the beginning of the season, the strawberry plants are full of all color berries; plush red ones ready to eat, orange ones that need a few more days, and infant green ones for later in the season. This variety is a good indication that berry picking will last a few weeks!
There are plenty of ripe berries to pick from and folks went home with full boxes, full smiles, and the arrival of summer!
