Strawberry Season

[Mrs. Stomp]

Happy Canada Day and Happy Strawberry Season! @stomp and I stopped at Talbotville Berry Farm on the way back from Springwater Conservation Area and picked up a couple of flats of strawberries. First time buying from there and they are good... a bit small and sweet. We have eaten a lot of these fresh and will be making a couple of batches of jam. If you have any recommendations on other places in the Londontown to Lake Erie driving area, I will likely look to buy more to pop in the freezer. (Buttermilk biscuits with double the buttermilk and 1/2 the butter and yeah, a dab of real whipped cream with a sprinkling of sugar)

Stopped and picked up berries and Asparagus coming home from Burwell a couple of of times now.

Waaaaaay better than from the store shelves.

I’ve been hoping for the price of flats to go on sale… they usually do at some point but haven’t seen that yet.. not sure if it going to happen this year lol
In order to get the food cheap price I want for jam might have to go pick my own…

@packrat I've only had heavenly hash in icecream form. I used the ingredients you listed and found a recipe online and it looks good as well as fairly straightforward to make.

@Outdorman Heemans is a good option -they do a ton of business for berries and have lots of other gardening things. Bought some potting soil from them earlier in the year - big bag of their stuff at a decent price .
